Jerwood Makers Open is a new open-submission initiative designed to support and showcase emerging artists working in the applied arts. This annual exhibition series offers bursaries to four makers to create new works, which will be exhibited as part of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme.
The artists selected for the 2011 Jerwood Makers Open are: Rapid prototype jeweller Farah Bandookwala, ceramic artist Emmanuel Boos, glass maker Heike Brachlow and installation artist Keith Harrison. Each artist has been awarded an equal share of £30,000 to create new work, which will go on display as part of the JVA programme at Jerwood Space in July.
The four winners were selected from over 200 entries by Emmanuel Cooper, potter, writer, educator and critic, Siobhan Davies, choreographer and artistic director and Jonathan Watkins, curator, writer and Director of Ikon Gallery. They comment: ‘These makers are united by a deep fascination with their chosen material. From the use of contemporary technologies to ancient processes, they are each pushing the boundaries of craft practice, creating works that are exciting, inventive and at times dangerous.’
A series of events will accompany the exhibition.
