These are all the rage these days. Christoper LeBrun seems the odd man out, an oldish guy not that 
in fashion. Good on him for being included. They will no doubt give to Wallinger or Whiteread. Funny 
how artists for these competition just do their thing, writ large. Makes sense. But wouldn't it be nice if 
Wallinger had done a giant monkey, king kong size, and Whiteread was going to do a huge naked 
cubist woman, and deacon a neon tube 100ft high, and le brun a set of triteragons, and daniel buren 
a union jack.
