EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to The Wick
Dear Culturally Curious,
October opens with prizes on every front. The Turner Prize settles into Middlesbrough; the Booker shortlist pits two former winners against each other and TIME finally gives art a power list of its own. In London, Renoir, Es Devlin and the French Riviera all land within days of each other, while Islington gives Cassandra the chorus she was always denied. Here’s what’s making headlines, and what’s worth your diary space.
The Turner Prize heads north to MIMA, where Simeon Barclay, Kira Freije, Marguerite Humeau and Tanoa Sasraku show up in scaffolding, welded steel, crude oil and celestial sound. Entry is free, the show runs until 29 March and the £25,000 winner is named on 10 December. Place your bets.
Tate Collective, the free membership for 16 to 25-year-olds, has passed 200,000 members, making it the most popular arts membership for young people in the world. There’s a celebratory commission too, more on that in Art with Heart. Meanwhile, Tate Modern Lates turned ten on 25 September with a free night in honour of Ana Mendieta: Latin sounds curated by La Chonga and a preview of Bibio and Dorian Concept’s collaborative album.
TIME launches its inaugural TIME100 Art list and puts Amy Sherald on the cover, photographed by her friend, Tyler Mitchell. She is the first living solo artist on the cover in 50 years. Half the list comprises the gallerists, curators, directors and patrons who make the work possible, alongside Hito Steyerl, Jenny Holzer, JR and Simone Leigh.
Former winners Marlon James (The Disappearers) and Douglas Stuart (John of John) are back on the Booker Prize shortlist, alongside M John Harrison, Luke Kennard, Rebecca Perry and Elizabeth Strout. Chair of judges Mary Beard called agreeing the final six “to put it mildly, hard work”. The winner is announced on 9 November.
Finally, good luck to artist and friend Nancy Cadogan who opens her show this evening at ‘The Lost Trees’ at Compton Verney, part of a month-long celebration of works which will also see works go into Beninbrough Hall in ‘At the Bend in the River’ next week.
Happy weekend from Katy and the Wick x KTW family.
All my best,
Katy
