Beck’s Future Award

by Guy Brighton

Each year the ICA gives a young emerging artist £20,000 as part of the Beck’s Future Award - a younger edgier version of the Turner Prize. Artists tend to be shortlisted because they’re considered to be admired by younger artists. This year’s work includes a reproduction of the first edition of Ulysses, but with the words
printed in alphabetical order; A manga-inspired comic book about an
unrecognised artistic genius; and a restaging of a northern soul event with
the music transcribed for church organ.

The contenders:

Pablo Bronstein - UK - film / installation / performance / drawing
Stefan Brueggemann - Mexico - Installation
Richard Hughes - UK - Sculpture / installation
Flavia Mueller Medeiros - Brazil - Performance / photography / film
Seb Patane - Italy - Painting
Olivia Plender - UK - Installation / illustration
Simon Popper - UK

Daniel Sinsel - Germany - Painting
