Jerwood moving image awards
From an original shortlist of thirty artists, eight have been selected for the final stage of the inaugural Jerwood Moving Image Awards. Artworks were originally selected from an open submission of ‘digital moving art’ – advertised through a-n – and the final shortlist ranges from animation, dance, installation, music, video and documentary. Three winners, each receiving £10,000 will be announced on 4 March.
The artists’ work will now all be exhibited in the Jerwood Space, London and be made available to download online. The films to be exhibited are The White and Black Minstrel Show by David Blandy, Evensong by Sophie Clements, The Final Act of Geng Yaoting by Richard Forbes-Hamilton, My Life at 40 by Laurie Hill, Procrastination by Johnny Kelly, Sea Change by Rosie Pedlow & Joe King, Jump by Norman Wilcox Giessen, and And when the Light fades I shall never forget by George Wu & Bonnie Carr.
AIR member Rosie Pedlow's film Sea Change, made in collaboration with Joe King, is pictured: "Filmed on a caravan park at the end of the season, Sea Change reveals a landscape dramatically transformed by light and time, and resonating with the transience of human presence. The old caravans that fill the site are to be removed and crushed to make way for a new housing development, so the film also acts as a kind of document for an unusual place on the brink of disappearance."
