From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Criticism?
The criticism section states:
The Arts Council England funds one of the largest prizes for contemporary artists and curators in the UK, with a total fund of £250 000. The awards, titled the deciBel Awards, are only open to contemporary artists in the UK who are Black British and Asian British. In 2006 the Awards were given to artists Bernd Behr, Rosalind Nashashibi, Harold Offeh, The Otolith Group, Hiraki Sawa, and Lynette Yiadom Boakye, each receiving an award of £30 000.
Maybe I'm being stupid, but what's the criticism there? Chob 10:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
User 69.128.216.92, you hijacked my comment to add "Mabe you are. I wonder...?" Before I continue, a few things: 1. Learn how to use Wikipedia and add your comments separately 2. Sign your comments
My point in the previous comment is that simply stating that the Arts Council awards a prize to Black British and Asian British artists is not in itself a criticism, unless you are a racist. If you knew how to write in an encyclopaedic manner, it would read something like "ACE has been criticised for awarding a prize to Black British and Asian British artists, which many (including the Commission for Racial Equality) regard as racist/segregatory etc", citing your references.
