Last night, while we were at our work Christmas meal, I checked twitter to see if the Turner Prize winner had been announced.
Seeing that it had and informing the others, there was a whoop of joy and a shout of ‘WE WON!!!’, causing the other diners in the restaurant to stare at us.
Of course, we personally hadn’t won – but it felt like it. A few of our friends and work colleagues had answered the call out in summer, for artists and people with skills who had connections with Granby street in Liverpool, to work with Assemble.
Two of them had travelled up to Glasgow yesterday to attend the ceremony at Tramway.
So , well actually Yes – it felt like WE won. We feel part of that community and are hugely proud of the achievement.
