This reviewer likes modern art, art installations, contemporary art, etc. However, there is relatively little to like about Turner '08. It doesn't even fall under the guise of 'so bad it's good'. Photography, sculpture, and cinema are all displayed to relatively tragic effect. The best bit is the comment wall, which is probably worth the 5 quid entry.
