Crystal creation makes cut for Turner shortlist

ROGER HIORNS who transformed an abandoned flat into a cave filled with blue crystals was yesterday named on this year’s Turner Prize shortlist.

Enrico David, Lucy Skaer and Richard Wright are the other artists in the running for the Turner Prize 2009, in what one jury member described as a “classic” year.

Hiorns, who is interested in the problems of modernist social architecture, created the work Seizure last year.
