Beck’s Future Award

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.
