I think we should start a campaign.
The conceptual artist Mark Wallinger, otherwise known as the Dancing Bear, has won the £25,000 Turner Prize for his monumental political work, State Britain, a recreation of the one-man Parliament Square anti-Iraq war protest destroyed by Tony Blair\’s government.
Most weird that a direct copy, a stencilling almost, should win an art prize. Thus we should campaign fo the prize (and the £25,000 cheque) to be stripped from Wallinger and award to Haw. He did, after all, make the original and isn\’t that what "Art" is about? Originality?
“Bad artists copy. Great artists steal.”

Subtle, ironic or typo?
