GVs photographs by Richard Billingham\u003cbr/\u003e12. pan video projections 'Ray in Bed 1999' through 'Man Smoking Backwards 1998' (by Richard \u003cbr/\u003eBillingham), to gallery\u003cbr/\u003eThe announcement Tuesday of the four Turner Prize nominees has stirred up art's favorite hornet's nest - where exactly are the boundaries for contemporary art today.\u003cbr/\u003eThe works shortlisted for this year's prestigious annual UK award include an entirely empty room, with ceiling lights that switch on and off at five second intervals - Martin Creed's '#227: The lights going on and off'; and a dusty store room deliberately arranged to look like a private back room of the Tate - 'The Cosmic Legend of the Uroboros Serpent' by Mike Nelson.\u003cbr/\u003eThey're up against a photography exhibition including a  homemade video of a man lying in bed (by Richard Billingham); and a homoerotic film displayed across three screens (by Isaac Julien).\u003cbr/\u003e33 year old artist Matin Creed was born in Wakefield, northern England, and graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 1990. He lives in Alicubi, Italy.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile some critics in today's press are bemused by the judges' decision to shortlist Creed's piece, the Tate describes it as a 'simple yet arresting spectacle', praising Creed's 'witty and often unsettling investigation into the role of art, its boundaries and its relationship with daily life'.\u003cbr/\u003eArt critic Tim Marlow is impressed, saying the work uses every available inch of the space: \"The space become the work of art , and sculpture is supposed to be revealed by light. In this instance it is light, it is also darkness. It is very elusive that piece. And it is a kind of gesture but it is also philosophical and there is something quite interesting going on in what Creed is trying to do.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOrganizers the Tate Britain gallery also named Londoner Mike Nelson, 34, a finalist for his 'The Cosmic Legend of the Uroboros Serpent,' an architectural installation comprising a dusty corridor scattered with discarded objects leading to a workshop.\u003cbr/\u003eNelson was born in Loughborough, central England, and graduated from Reading University in 1990 before studying sculpture at London's Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1993.\u003cbr/\u003eThe gallery explains that Nelson is known for his typically claustrophobic works, 'the mirroring of entrance and exit spaces to create confusion and doorways that offer choice..but simultaneously imply a wrong turn has been taken into unauthorised, private territories'.   The rooms and corridors spiral in on themselves, reffering to a coiled serpent swallowing its own tail, which in alchemy symbolises recyling and rebirth.\u003cbr/\u003eNelson has catalouged his own work into the store room space - to 'deflect interpretations by parodying those who try to classify what he does'.\u003cbr/\u003eThat side of the entry certainly works if the reaction of artist Edna Wiess is anything to go by: \"Well if it is a reproduced store room and it is a work of art now why wasn't the original store room a work of art. I guess because someone makes it, I don't know\".\u003cbr/\u003eIsaac Julien, who also lives in London, won a place on the shortlist with his two video installations, 'The Long Road to Mazatlan' and 'Vagabondia.' Organizers described the first - which shows two cowboys swimming naked and dancing down a desert highway accompanied by three carnival-float beauty queens - as a 'film that explores longing, masculinity and homoeroticism.'  The second follows a curator of a 'Pandora's box' of a museum and the imaganings of the past its artefacts trigger.\u003cbr/\u003eJulien, 41, graduated from St. Martin's School of Art in London in 1984.\u003cbr/\u003eThe fourth finalist is 31 year old Richard Billingham. Born in Birmingham, Billingham graduated in fine art from the University of Sunderland in 1994. He is best known for his candid and gritty portraits of his family at home.\u003cbr/\u003eHis shortlisted entry includes the video projection  'Ray in Bed', a home video featuring Billingham's alcoholic father reluctantly waking up as his wife brings him a cup of tea.  It is featured alongside another video work, 'Tony Smoking Backwards' and a selection of landscape photographs.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Tate's Simon Wilson admits some explanation may be needed before those unfamiliar with the issues in contemporary art today can fully appreciate some of the nominations.  But he insists that the gallery takes the responsibility to attract new art lovers seriously, and offers background to each work in the room in which they are displayed.\u003cbr/\u003eThe prestigious prize has been awarded every year since 1984, and is open to any British artists under 50 who have exhibited during the previous 12 months.  Previous winners include Gilbert and George, Rachel Whiteread, Anish Kapoor and Antony Gormley.\u003cbr/\u003eThe aim of the prize is to raise the profile of contemporary art.  The award has a history of drawing criticism for shock art - in 1999, nominee Tracey Emin split critics with 'My Bed', an unmade bed with grubby sheets, surrounded by cigarette-ends, bottles of vodka and condoms.  1998 winner Chris Ofili used elephant dung in his work, while Damien Hirst's winning exhibit of 1995 was the split remains of a cow and calf preserved in formaldehyde.\u003cbr/\u003eIf this years entries are baffling to some, they can at least take comfort in the glamour of the forthcoming ceremony.  The ÂŁ20,000 (dlrs 30,000) prize is to be presented to the winner by none other that Madonna.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe superstar singer was asked because of her passion for art - she has a private collection so large that she employs a full time professional to curate it.\u003cbr/\u003eThe winner of this year's Turner Prize will be announced at the London event on December 9th (2001).\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
