9 January 2019
We are very delighted to announce Rana Begum, Sonia Boyce and Ben Rivers as the Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2019 Selectors!
Selectors' Biographies:
Through her refined language of Minimalist abstraction, Rana Begum blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. Her works absorb and reflect varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal and sensorial . Exhibitions include 'A Conversation with Light and Form', Tate St. Ives (2018); 'Occasional Geometries,' Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2017); 'Space Light Colour,' Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich; 'The Space Between', Parasol Unit, London (2016) and the 11th Gwangju Biennial, Korea.
Sonia Boyce's work incorporates a variety of media such as film, print, drawing, installation and sound. Her recent work also brings performers and audiences into sharper focus as an improvisational part of the artwork, demonstrating how cultural differences might be articulated, mediated and enjoyed . Exhibitions include 'All the World's Futures,' 56th Venice Biennale (2015); 'We move in her way', ICA, London (2017) and 'Sonia Boyce' Retrospective at Manchester Art Gallery (2018).
Ben Rivers explores unknown wilderness territories to candid and intimate portrayals of real-life subjects, blurring the line between fiction and documentary. Exhibitions include 'Islands,' Kunstverein in Hamburg (2016); 'Earth Needs More Magicians,' Camden Arts Centre, London (2015); 'The Two Eyes Are Not Brothers,' The Whitworth, Manchester & Artangel, London (2016 & 2015.
