Achei divertido este projecto artístico e adorei a descrição feita pela autora:

Thought this a very funny art project and loved the author's description:

"I decided for my nets, maps and grids project to do a tribute on Rememberance Sunday to those who gave their lives for us at war. The red ribbon signifies the blood that was shed. I went to the Tate Modern where there are lots of very closely planted silver birch trees which I think are beautiful. I then wrapped the red ribbon around the trunks of the trees in a grid like formation. Loads of people asked me what I was doing. I told them that it was a piece of art in commemoration of Rememberence Sunday and they all seemed pretty happy with that. Everyone seemed to like it including a nice security guard from the Tate Modern who asked me if it was an art project and said I should take lots of photos. I overheard one man though, walking along with his wife saying “No dear, it’s to stop people walking through the trees…. well, I suppose it could be art!” A lot of people assumed I’d been commissioned by the Tate Modern I think! Maybe one day, but for now I’m happy to have some art work at least in the grounds of the Tate Modern! I wonder how long it will stay there?It would be interesting to know what reactions it would have got if I weren’t in the grounds of a modern art museum. People seemed very open to it being art there but I wonder what people would have thought if I’d done it in Hyde Park? Perhaps art is context dependant!

Turner Prize 2006 - Tomma Abts

So refreshingly simple and effective compared to the prizes of the previous years. Also the first woman painter to be awarded this prize and the first painter to be awarded since 1998.
