Turner Prize 2015



Ecco la lista dei selezionati per il Turner Prize 2015 AssembleBonnie CamplinJanice Kerbel e Nicole Wermers


The Turner Prize is awarded to a British artist under 50 for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in the preceding year. 
Every other year, the prize leaves Tate Britain and is presented at a venue outside London. For 2015, that venue will be Tramway in Glasgow, an international art-space renowned for commissioning, producing and presenting contemporary arts projects.


Shortlist

The shortlisted artists are (in alphabetical order):


The Turner Prize award is £40,000, with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 each for the other shortlisted artists.
The winner of the prize will be announced on 7 December 2015.
Given how many artists from Glasgow have made up the Turner Prize shortlists over recent years, it is great to have the Prize on show in Tramway, which feels like a natural home for the Prize this year.
