Viewing Turner Prize 2022

Landing at Tate Liverpool this autumn is the Turner Prize 2022 exhibition, featuring work by the four shortlisted artists: Heather Phillipson, Ingrid Pollard, Veronica Ryan and Sin Wai Kin.

‘The jury has travelled the length and breadth of the country, taking advantage of the easing of lockdown to enjoy the explosion of creativity that has emerged from the pandemic,’ said Helen Legg, Director of Tate Liverpool and co-chair of the Turner Prize jury. ‘The result is a diverse group of artists who impressed the judges with the intensity of their presentations, while also dealing with important issues facing our society today.’

As you meander around the free exhibition, you’ll encounter sculpture and photographic works by Ingrid Pollard and Veronica Ryan’s cast forms in clay and bronze as well as her tea-stained fabrics and bright neon crocheted fishing line pouches filled with a variety of seeds, stones and skins. Also on display are three films by Sin Wai Kin and Phillipson’s RUPTURE NO 6: biting the blowtorched peach, a reimagining of her 2020 Tate Britain’s Duveen Galleries commission.

This year’s artists have delivered a visually exciting and thought-provoking exhibition that demands a pilgrimage to Liverpool. The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in December.
