9 - Charlotte Prodger
SaFO5
was the name of Charlotte Prodger’s deeply personal film that represented
Scotland at this year’s Venice Biennale. After winning the 2018 Turner Prize
with Bridgit, and the Margaret Tait Award before that for Stoneymollan Trail, this new film commissioned by Cove Park
completed the trilogy with a visual poem that revealed Prodger as one of the
most inventive explorers of inner and outer landscape.
Hanna Tuulikki
No
sooner had Hanna Tuulikki’s Edinburgh Art Festival exhibition, Deer Dancer,
ended its run at Edinburgh Printmakers than the Glasgow-based composer,
performer and artist was shortlisted for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women,
acknowledging Tuulikki’s increasingly expansive explorations of nature, ritual
and environmental actions.
Katie Paterson
The universe
has no limit for Katie Paterson, who this year was given her largest UK
exhibition at the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate alongside works by
Turner himself, with a new publication, A place that exists only in moonlight,
published to coincide with the show.
Alberta Whittle
With
her first major exhibition in a UK institution, How Flexible Can We Make the
Mouth, currently running at Dundee Contemporary Arts, 2018 Margaret Tait Award
winner Alberta Whittle mixes various forms to question western constructs of
history and white privilege from a post-colonial black perspective on
oppression, healing and self-liberation.
