Turner Prize

Scotland's Charlotte Prodger came out on top at a glitzy reception at London's Tate Museum for a 33-minute visual compilation called BRIDGIT.

Prominent English sculptor and installation artist Cornelia Parker has been named the official artist for the 2017 UK general election, becoming the first woman to take on the role. Parker, who was once nominated for the Turner Prize, will observe the election campaign, which culminates in the vote on June 8, and then produce a piece in response.

The Birth of a Nation, a drama about a 19th century slave revolt in Virginia, swept top prizes at the Sundance Film Festival on January 30. Dual awards mark a major victory for filmmaker Nate Parker, who wrote and directed the movie about Nat Turner, who led a slave rebellion in 1831

Britain's Turner Prize has long stirred debate in the art world with its unconventional choices, and this year may be no different with a song performance and an architecture collective among the contenders.

In Liverpool's Granby neighbourhood, proud residents and a group of architects have brought back to life the area's four remaining Victorian streets, earning them a nomination for Britain's prestigious Turner Prize for contemporary art.
