The 2023 Turner Prize has been awarded to Jesse Darling, who was praised for how his art using unconventional materials conveyed a “familiar yet delirious world”.<\/p>\n
The Oxford-born artist, who lives in Berlin, received the prestigious art award<\/strong> at Winter Garden in Eastbourne, East Sussex.<\/p>\n The award, established in 1984 and named after painter J M W Turner and worth \u00a325,000, was presented by rapper Tinie Tempah.<\/p>\n Darling, 41, is known for his work with unconventional materials such as welded barriers, hazard tape, office files and net curtains.<\/p>\n He turned a full-sized roller coaster into the skeletal form of a woolly mammoth.<\/p>\n Accepting the prize, Darling declared that art “is something that a lot of the public can get behind” and explained it helps develop other skills.<\/p>\n He claimed former prime minister Margaret Thatcher lessened the teaching of art in schools because it was not “economically productive”.<\/p>\n He added: “She sort of paved the way for the greatest trick that the Tories ever pulled, which was to convince the working people of Britain that study, self-expression, and what the broadsheet supplements describe as culture, is only for particular kinds of people from particular socioeconomic backgrounds, and I just want to say don’t buy in, I’m talking to the public, I’m talking to the British public, don’t buy in, it’s for everyone.”<\/p>\n Darling’s exhibitions are described by the Turner Prize as conveying a “familiar yet delirious world” that “unsettles perceived notions of labour, class, Britishness and power”.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News: <\/strong> <\/p>\n Darling beat Ghislaine Leung, who had an exhibition featuring water pouring into the exhibition space through an opening in the ceiling; Rory Pilgrim, who delivered a live performance at Cadogan Hall in London; and Barbara Walker, who shone a light on families affected by the Windrush scandal.<\/p>\n The prize will mark its 40th anniversary next year and return to Tate Britain for the first time since 2018.<\/p>\n An exhibition of the Turner Prize shortlisted artists will be at Towner Eastbourne, the hosts of this year’s prize, until 14 April next year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] The 2023 Turner Prize has been awarded to Jesse Darling, who was praised for how his art using unconventional materials conveyed a “familiar yet delirious world”.
