Jasleen Kaur, 38, wins the Turner prize 2024
The Turner Prize has been awarded annually since 1984 to promote public debate around new developments in contemporary British art.
Past winners include notable artists such as Anish Kapoor, Steve McQueen, Gillian Wearing, Antony Gormley, Grayson Perry, Jeremy Deller, Helen Marten, and Veronica Ryan.
The exhibition \”Alter Altar\” reflects upon everyday objects, animating them through sound and music to summon community and cultural inheritance. The judges praised Kaur’s ability to gather different voices through playful combinations of materials, from Irn-Bru bottles to family photographs.
Kaur will receive £25,000 in prize money and her exhibition has been praised by the judges for its ability to create a visual and aural experience that suggests both solidarity and joy.
The Turner Prize is presented to an artist born or working in Britain for an outstanding exhibition or presentation of their work over the previous year.
