For the Stuckists, an anti conceptual art group of artists who have been protesting against the prize since 2000, it was this year unforgivably dull. Charles Thomson, co-founder of the group, said: “It is appalling that innocent victims expecting to see challenging art should end up bored to death. I have lost several friends in the last few weeks. “There needs to be immediate action. The Turner prize should be shut down before more people end up meeting their demise from sheer boredom." The Guardian (5.12.16)
