turner prize nominee: tris vonna-michell

Tris Vonna-Michell has been shortlisted for the Turner Prize:

Jay Doubleyou: Turner Prize 2014

Tris Vonna-Michell

OU: Finding Chopin 2012
Performance at Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art, Roskilde 13 January 2012

Courtesy the Artist, Cabinet, London and Jan Mott, Brussels

For his solo exhibition Postscript II (Berlin) at Jan Mot, Brussels. Through fast paced spoken word live performances and recordings, Vonna-Michell creates circuitous, multilayered narratives. Accompanied by installations providing a visual script in the form of slide projections, photocopies and other ephemera, Vonna-Michell’s works are characterised by fragments of information, detours and repetitions designed to confuse and enlighten in equal measure.
