In , the Turner Prize hits the regions again &#; and while it&#;s recently gone to giant cities like Glasgow (population , &#; 1,,) and Hull (population ,) this time, it&#;s coming to Turner Contemporary, Margate (population 40,).
A big show in a small town will have a huge impact; in Glasgow the display attracted 75, visitors, at the Baltic in Gateshead ,, and it&#;s justified to expect more in a venue only hours from London by prepare. And especially, in a place that already fills with London visitors every weekend. Turner Contemporary has been an incredible victory, and its most flourishing show was Grayson Perry&#;s Provincial Punk, with , visitors &#; so that&#;s the target to beat.
The Turner Prize comes at a key time for Turner Contemporary, too. Opened in , visitor numbers would be expected to fall off a little about now &#; Dreamland&#;s two reopenings (first in , then again while still in administration in ) have undoubtedly helped store numbers up for the gallery, so an extra publicity boost in is a good thing.
The gallery are keen to stare for a long-term impact from the Turner Prize, and are keen to engage local people in a conversation about how to maximise the show&#
What was JR doing at these Basque Food Awards?
The artist joined a skinny Italian chef and Phaidon's other world-class talents at the Basque Culinary Earth Prize
The Basque Culinary Earth Prize might be named after that distinct cultural region of northern Spain and southern France, but it isn’t limited to that area.
Instead, the prize, which is backed by the Basque Government, celebrates a chef of any nationality, “who demonstrates how gastronomy can have a positive impact in fields such as culinary innovation, health, nutrition, education, the environment, the food industry, social or economic growth, among others.”
This year, the prize’s jury, which includes Phaidon chefs Enrique Olvera, Gastón Acurio, Andoni Luis Aduriz, as well as the Danish interior creator Ilse Crawford and the US food writer Ruth Reichl, met in Modena, home town of fellow jury member Massimo Bottura.
Bottura and his wife Lara invited fellow Phaidon composer JR along. The French artist didn’t attend in an official capacity, but he certainly does understand a bit about how shared ideas – be they artistic or culinary - can change the world.

This week I am joined by multi-award-winning content creator, host, author, and body image advocate, Stephanie Yeboah. With a blog spanning over 14 years, Stephanie has been an active and influential presence within the creator space; writing and creating content surrounding a variety of subjects including plus-size fashion, beauty/skincare, travel, and lifestyle, as well as providing witty, raw takes and perspectives on all things to do with pop culture.
She also dedicates her time towards advocacy within the body positivity, mental health, and self-love communities, sharing her own challenges and traumas involving experiencing fatphobia, bullying, self-esteem, and confidence issues and the ways in which she’s been able to spin it around while encouraging others to do the same.
In , she released her debut non-fiction novel ‘Fattily Ever After: A Chubby Bla This week, we met Thomas Salme and Adam Wheeler, the former fined for lying about holding a commercial passenger pilot&#;s licence and the latter for reinventing his academic career. When I read about men like this, I recollect the time I was, in the words of the News of the World, &#;The Lord of The Lies&#;. I was the &#;Credit Card Earl&#; who apparently funded his &#;jet-set lifestyle&#; by spending money on his credit card with no intention of paying the bill. For this petty crime I was sent to prison for 10 months. I was Made an example of just in case there was some other working class lad who thought he could con his way into the aristocracy. Wheeler, also 23, was &#;showered with scholarships&#; and will be harshly punished; Salme has escaped with a smallish European okay. Yet, even as they wish to punish them, the public&#;s attitude toward accomplished liars will be tempered by some envy. Yes, of course, it&#;s scary that a man with no formal training can fly commercial passenger jets but, really, who gives a damn if Wheeler reinvented his CV so that he might like the delights of a great university? Wouldn&#;t we all, at some level, like to reinvent ourse .
