TALK BY LIZZIE CAREY-THOMAS (turner prize) - http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/2003/artists_curators.htm
Appropriate material from all over cultural landscape - art history, consumer culture, philosophical theory
Visceral reaction from their audience.
Mannequins with genitals.
Aesthetic of horror and obscenity - genitals
Dealing religiously with aesthetics of war
Insult to injury - goya. Seminal series Disasters of war
Graffitied systematically over the top.
Critics

Chapmans dismissed as subversive wit and black humour…
Serious about what they do.
