Take me to... #TurnerPrize

I had a meeting today at Tramway in Glasgow.
In just five weeks time, this gritty industrial space will play host to the Turner Prize, which divides opinion and attracts media attention in equal measure.
Every other year the prize heads out of London and this year, for the first time, it's coming to Glasgow, which is home to more Turner Prize nominees than you can shake a paintbrush at (although painting in short supply most years...)
I met with the press officer who is dealing with the Scottish side of the press coverage and have to say, I'm getting quite excited about it all.
The shortlisted artists are:
Assemble
Bonnie Camplin
Janice Kerbel
Nicole Wermers
The award is worth £40,000, with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 each for the other shortlisted artists.
The exhibition opens to the public on Thursday 1st October.
The winner of the prize will be announced on 7th December.
