From: art news Category: Art Date: 01 December 2008 Time: 05:10 PM Review: "Both the Turner prize 2008 jury and Tate were made aware at the shortlist meeting that Daniel Birnbaum is director of the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Kunste in Frankfurt and that Mark Leckey is a part-time professor of film studies at the art school, currently on sabbatical. The shortlist and the winner of the prize is decided collectively through a series of discussions until the jury arrives at a consensus." http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2008/dec/01/turner-prize-mark-leckey Hmmm, what are the ethical standards here, shouldn't birnbaum have stood down?
