Evil!? I would call the Turner Prize absurd, ridiculous, but not evil. I'd reserve that word for something that actually affects people.

I like the Art Renewal Center site for their bios and images, but their take on art is totally reactionary, ignoring most of the art of the 20th century. I think many people appreciate both classical and modern art, realism and abstraction. As for today's postmodern art, I think few care, except for artists and critics.
