TRAFALGAR SQUARE PLINTH SHORTLIST

	Thomas Schutte’s Rat Lounge is made from microwaved titanium, blue psychometric kapok and blushed onyx. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because it looks beyond the pigeons, to London’s forgotten community of rats.”
	Chris Burden's Double Sausage is seven metres of vertical dialogue hewn from compromised rubber. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because of the resonances between BREAKFAST TIME and THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER."
	Marc Quinn’s Armless Mr Potato Head On Ebay is minced ceramic fibre, held in lieu by common cement and at this stage just an idea about 4.7 metres tall. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because it shows disability in a positive light. Nelson was mocked by the French, let's not forget.”
	Sarah Lucas’ Renault Clio is a pile of shit with a wheel at each corner. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because it can be organically developed by the pigeons, and is also funny, confrontational, enigmatic, pigeons etc.”
	Sokari Douglas Camp’s No-o-goo-oo-d! No-o-goo-oo-d! is made of plastinated Stuckists in a Perspex suspension. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because it is not what you think."
	Stefan Gec's Super Soaker is a giant water pistol made from gravity-enhanced hardwood. Tiebreaker: “My art should be on the plinth because it links Nelson's powerful naval fleet with a clever giant water pistol, which could tour the North for the Arts Council."
