guardian.co.uk: There are several things noteworthy about performance artist Spartacus Chetwynd: she renamed herself after the gladiator partly to annoy people, she claims to live and work in a south-London nudist colony, she once reinvented Jabba the Hutt as a smooth-talking ladies' man and as of today she is one of four people shortlisted for this year's Turner prize.
Chetwynd, who stages humourous and thought-provoking pieces of what could be called hallucinatory folk theatre, joins two film-makers – Elizabeth Price and Luke Fowler – and Paul Noble who has spent the last 16 years on an elaborate technical drawing project based around a fictional metropolis called Nobson Newtown.
