	BBC - Wiltshire - Arts - Gavin Turk: et in arcadia eggo
		Gavin Turk made a name for himself, literally, very early on in his career with his now infamous 1991 Royal College of Art degree show.
		Even the 17 metre-long wall of the gallery itself is to be treated to Turk's own unique twist with a trompe l'oeil which promises to challenge the very dynamics of the building.
		Within the grounds of the park a sculpture of a giant egg, Oeuvre, illustrates Turk's fascination with the cycle of birth, life and death.

		The interview with Turk focuses on the ideas behind his work: the nature of art itself, his use of popular celebrity and political imagery, and why it is that he makes art at all.
		Gavin Turk rose to prominence in the early 1990s during the so-called 'young British artists' phenomenon: a wave of media interest provoked by an ambitious generation of artists with a flair for self-promotion.
		While Turk was infamously refused his degree from the Royal College of Art, the work that cost him his qualification, 'Cave', has since gone on to become one of the most famous works in The Saatchi Gallery, where several of his other major works are also displayed.

		Turk uses Ariadne in Nomad to examine and distort principles of perspective and, at the same time, brings the image of her sleeping figure into the twenty-first century, placing her, not in swathes of opulent drapery, but in a sleeping bag.
		When asked Turk said: “The main point is to try to make sure lots of people can get works of art for a little amount” This comes back to how he is interested in the way that fame and celebrity affect the understanding of art and the artists that make it.
		Turk's egg,,in a natural open-air environment, is made comic and surreal by its sheer size.

		The meaning of Gavin Turk's 'The Golden Thread' is transparent; you can literally see right through the installation, although it's easier to do so once you've walked through it, into the gallery, and are looking back, towards the doors of the White Cube and Hoxton Square beyond.
		Across three superficially different pieces, Turk is revealed as a master storyteller; and it's this that makes his art so thoroughly captivating and him such an important figure in British art today.
		Gavin Turk's 'The Golden Thread', 'Habitat' and 'Pile' are at the White Cube, Hoxton Square until 28th February.

		Gavin Turk's artistic career began in 1991 when he was denied his MA certificate from the Royal College of Art for his degree show presentation, which consisted of an empty white studio with an English Heritage plaque installed, which simply bore the inscription "Borough of Kensington Gavin Turk Sculptor Worked Here 1989-1991".

		Turk has had solo exhibitions at White Cube, the highly acclaimed The Stuff Show at the South London Gallery in 1998, as well as at the Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva, 2000.

		Turk is once again playing with his own identity as he slips into the skin of a fictitious self.
		The search for happiness in ideal worlds and in the here and now, illusion and the real blend into each other, become a metaphor for the absurdity of reality and one’s own existence.
		The equivocal symbols of civilisation are sublimated and refined by Gavin Turk, in that he casts them in bronze only to deprive them then once more of their material value, by painting them to appear realistic.
