Jasleen Kaur has won the Turner Prize 2024. She is recognised for her work which weaves autobiographical themes, seen throughout her exhibition at Tramway, Glasgow, in sculptures crafted from everyday objects.
The award was announced by Turner Prize chair and director of Tate Britain Alex Farquharson, leading a jury composed of Rosie Cooper, director of Wysing Arts Centre; Ekow Eshun, writer, broadcaster, curator and a Wallpaper* contributing editor; Sam Thorne, director general and CEO at Japan House London; and Lydia Yee, curator and art historian.Says jury member Rosie Cooper: ‘The exhibition was comprised of a new body of sculptural and sound works that unfolded throughout Tramway’s vast post-industrial gallery space. This significant and breakthrough show was alive to timely issues, speaking imaginatively to how we might live together in a wild increasingly marked by nationalism, division and social control.’
