Excrement orgies go on display at Turner Prize show

Drawings of human excrement having sex have gone on show at Tate Britain — alongside performances by a bearded female artist who lives in a nudist colony and changed her name to Spartacus.

The works are featured in this year’s Turner Prize exhibition and are by the four artists who have been shortlisted for the controversial art prize.

Northumberland-born Paul Noble, 48, has displayed his drawings of a fictional city, Nobson Newton, whose natives are living excrement and in some scenes engage in orgies.
