Two exciting exhibitions are planned for year twelve on 13th December. The Turner Prize 'A Retrospective' looks back at all the great names who have won the controversial prize since its conception in 1984. Gilbert and George, Anish Kapoor and Damien Hirst have some of their most memorable pieces in the exhibition, but the more traditional painters will not be disappointed with work by Malcolm Morley, Howard Hodgkin and Chris Ofili also on display. 'The Painting of Modern Life' exhibition at the Hayward will complement the very conceptual work at the Tate as it focuses on paintings and prints made through the use of photography. Photo-realism sits alongside deliberately distorted images, but all pieces deliberately exploit the medium of photography, often emphasising the media's influence in the genre by emphasising the shadows created by flash and the angles explored by paparazzi.
