Turner Prize 2012

Tate Britain, London

Discover the work of the four artists shortlisted for the UK’s most prestigious contemporary art award. The Turner Prize returns to Tate Britain after a hugely popular exhibition at Gateshead’s BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in 2011.

The £25,000 Turner Prize is presented to an artist under 50, living, working or born in Britain for an outstanding exhibition in the previous 12 months. The winner will be announced on Monday 3 December 2012 during a live broadcast by Channel 4.

Hear the artists talk about their work. Join Spartacus Chetwynd on Wednesday 3 October and Elizabeth Price on Tuesday 13 November.

Spartacus Chetwynd
Nominated for her solo exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, London. Combining a broad spectrum of historical and cultural sources, Chetwynd makes paintings, carnivalesque performances and sculptural installations utilising handmade costumes and sets. Chetwynd confuses the boundary between performer and spectator, creating an atmosphere of joyful improvisation.

Artist Talk: Spartacus Chetwynd Wednesday 3 October


Luke Fowler
Nominated for his solo exhibition at Inverleith House, Edinburgh, which showcased his new film exploring the life and work of Scottish psychiatrist, R.D. Laing. Fowler interweaves found footage and new material into accomplished and immersive films that evoke the atmosphere of a particular era, revealing how the relationship between individuals and society changes through time.

Luke Fowler All Divided Selves, duration 93min
Screening times: 10.30; 12.10; 13.50; 15.30
Additional screenings Fridays: 17.30; 19.30


Paul Noble
Nominated for his solo exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, London, which brought together the painstakingly detailed and engrossing drawings of the fictional metropolis Nobson Newtown. Undercutting the precise, technical drawing is a dark satirical narrative which unfolds in the micro-cosmos of these monumental works.


Elizabeth Price
Nominated for her solo exhibition at BALTIC, Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, in which she presented a trilogy of video installations. Price reanimates existing archives of imagery, texts and music to explore our complex relationship to objects and consumer culture. Her carefully sequenced films guide us through immersive virtual spaces, derived from the cultural debris of the material world. Tweet #EPrice
