[edit] Lunatic?

His support of Jade Goody is indefensible. His desire to burn an effigy of Shilpa Shetty should be seen as inciting racial hatred. I think he uses controversial issues to get on TV. He is an attention whore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.145.242.20 (talk) 13:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC). U muppet. He's not a Goody fan.

The YBAs are like Mark McGowan noted for using shock tactics and for using the media. Many of them have been associated with Goldsmiths college. Their work is mostly conceptual and deals with popular themes so I think it valid to associate Mark McGowan with the YBAs even though he was not one of the original YBAs who exhibited at the Frieze show

What you're both missing is that he is a twunt.

Twunt! What a fantastic word - and absolutely perfect for McGowan. Sadly, I think WP has a policy on labelling living persons as twunts (though it would be cool:`"This subject of this article has been identified as a twunt") and if it doesn't, some po-faced admin would come along and invent one as soon as we tried to use it. Mind you, he is identified as a "performance artist", which I think most people will consider synomymous with being a twunt anyway.Bedesboy 11:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] about his birthday

does anyone know his birthday and birthyear?I think it is an important information.Thank you!--58.177.113.140 15:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, but if you take a look at his website, it provides an email address and phone number (UK, presumably) in case you want to contact him. It wouldn't be surprising if he was born in 1974, given that this appears in his email address. --David Edgar 11:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
