December
The prize goes north, Brussels gets its Pompidou, and everyone else gets on a plane to Miami.
Middlesbrough hosts the Turner Prize announcement on the 10th, the first at MIMA. KANAL opened on the canal in Brussels at the end of November and spends December as the new building everyone has an opinion on. Miami happens, as it does.
