gavin turk famously for his mfa piece made a plaque dedicated to the memory of gavin turk memorializing the space in which gavin turk did his work. because he just made an empty room with a plaque, the RCA went into heated discussion about whether this is deserving of an mfa. half the professors wanted to fail him because he did nothing, the other half wanted to give him his mfa and said if they deny gavin turk his mfa, they will have to say no to others who did get their mfa because it would make a double standard.
now, the fact he didn't get his mfa and the controversies involved really gave him a kick start in his career. maybe controversial figures in the history of art was kicked out of an institution of some kind where their radical ideas were unaccepted.
now, can i turn not getting an mfa into art so i can get an mfa?
