'Crystal council flat' re-opens

A council flat transformed into a crystal cave in the name of art is to re-open after its creator was nominated for the Turner Prize.

Thousands more visitors will be able to see Seizure, in which artist Roger Hiorns, 34, pumped 75,000 litres of copper sulphate solution into an Elephant and Castle flat to create a blue crystalline growth on its floor, walls and ceiling.

The Turner Prize judges decided to shortlist Hiorns's work. His rivals are Enrico David, Lucy Skaer and Richard Wright and the winner will be announced in December.

The project was exhibited from September to November last year and will re-open tomorrow free every Thursday to Sunday.
