Better than all the rest?
Better than anyone.
Any one I’ve ever met.
C-c-c-c-combo breaker!!
Simply the best.
He was simply the best
Why isn’t their an Irish visual arts prize run along the same lines as the Turner Prize? Visual art in Ireland could really do with a profile boost.
Why do the media keep describing him as Dublin-born or Irish-born, have you heard him speak? He is Irish full stop. Just because he lives in Glasgow doesn’t stop him being a Dubliner?!
The BBC twitter news page referred to him as Glasgow based. Why they just couldn’t say Irish artist , is baffling or not, given how they claim most Irish artists
The turner prize is open to British artists. He’s Glasgow-based, so for the purposes of eligibility he’s British I suppose. Obviously the BBC felt they couldn’t just call him ‘Irish artist Duncan Campbell’, as by that description he wouldn’t be eligible.
Bernadette Devlin,an Irish heroine! Great work from him,well deserved!
Dublin born? Are we doing that distasteful thing where we start claiming people no matter how tenuous the link.
Nope. He’s Irish.
His name sounds very Scottish
Is this an Irish nationality exam? H’s pure Dublin
The Turner prize is for British Artists under 50. Duncan Campbell is eligible considering has studied and worked in the UK For several years. That’s why the press releases refer to him as Irish Born.
Watching on plus 1.. Cheers for that :0)
Is there any way we can see the film?
No, its sh. It
have your say
