Selectors announced for Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2010
Three of the most inventive names from the intersection of contemporary art and craft, Hans Stofer, Richard Slee and Freddie Robins, will make up the selection panel for Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2010.
The final exhibition in this three-year series will focus on the notion of making, and thirty artists, designers and makers have been invited to take part. The list of exhibitors will be announced in the New Year and the exhibition will be at Jerwood Space, London, 17 June - 25 July before touring to Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, with IC: Innovative Craft.
Jerwood Contemporary Makers was launched in 2008 as a three-year exhibition series supporting and showcasing emerging creative talent. Each year, a different panel of selectors has curated the exhibition, inviting a group of makers from across creative disciplines to respond to a different guiding concept. The makers are awarded an equal share of £30,000 to participate.
Shonagh Manson, Director of the Jerwood Charitable Foundation comments:
“The exhibition this year will bring together a breadth of work, looking at what it means to make from a variety of creative perspectives. The concept proposed by the panel is bold and we look forward to an ambitious exhibition to complete the Jerwood Contemporary Makers series.”
Jerwood Contemporary Makers is part of Jerwood Visual Arts, a major initiative of the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
