On Friday night (31st Oct) there was an hour long documentary called 'Twenty Years of the Turner Prize' presented by Matthew Collings on Channel 4. He devoted a surprisingly large segment to the whole Rachel Whiteread / K Foundation story, including an interview with Mr Drummond and a silent Mr Cauty, and nice footage of the 3am video, K Foundation posters and their Turner Prize night activities. Collings described the KLF (the band) as 'genius', and the K Foundation as 'slightly confused'. It was generally positive, putting them in context of the moment that the prize became a real cultural event, but described the K Foundation thinking that contemporary art was 'all about money' - a little unfair I think. Overall it was a great programme and if you're interested in contemporary art in general try and get a copy. There was also a wee K Foundation mention in a Turner Prize magazine free with Saturday's Guardian.

Anyone recorded that documentation ? -------- Thomas Touzimsky My head is spinnin' so My feet don't touch the ground My eyes is blinded by the light My hearin' deafened by the sound My body's shakin' like a leaf My hearts been beatin' out of time My blood's been boilin' up inside And I've been fearin' for my life
