To the equal delight of the art world and the frustration of most rationale print lovers, the notorious Turner Prize winner proposes to redefine what we a perceive to be a well written book. Changes in font size, incomplete sentences and a cover-face smeared in formaldehyde, are among some of the more 'challenging' aspects of Hirst's book; which one publisher described as: 'Being beaten around the head with a diamond encrusted skull'.
Mr Hirst promises to draw no distinction between the words there/their/they're. A spokesman explained that: 'When Damien dangles participles, swaps commas for apostrophes and uses the c-word, he's saying something about the state of modern Britain. He's a conceptual writer nor an actual speller per se. The artist intends to deconstruct the concept of a book by offering a series of papyrus sheets, stapled together in manuscript form, entitled 'Wankstain: In perpetual Motion'. It's all about the affect… effect... affect? Impact of the art'.
