Fiona Banner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiona Banner (born 1966) is an English artist, who was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2002, and is seen as one of the Young British Artists (YBAs).
She was born in Merseyside and now lives in London. She studied at Kingston University and completed her MA at Goldsmiths College in 1993. The next year she held her first solo show at City Racing. Following her shows at the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Aachen, and Dundee Contemporary Arts, she was nominated for the Turner Prize.
The wall of her show in the Turner Prize was dominated by a large text piece Arsewoman in Wonderland. This caused a certain commotion in the media, as it was a vivid description of a pornographic film. The Guardian wittily reversed the widespread question and asked, "It's art. But is it porn?" calling in "Britain's biggest porn star," Ben Dover, to comment. [1]
