Coley was nominated for the Turner Prize which youd probably forgotten cos it was the one in liverpool. He does that conceptual-architecture- smorgas-board gallery art that looks like it never touched the dirty ground between art school and haunch of venison, ie it is cool as a cucumber, looks like something that would sit comfortably in a habitat shop, and as the intellectual depth of a first year reading list at a provincial art school. A mosque church and synagogue covered in camoufalge markings, some lighbulbs saying something vaguely philosophical. Yes you've seen it before, semiotics has a lot to answer for.
