Katharine Stout launches ICI's 2011 public program series with a talk on the Turner Prize, the prestigious and much debated award set up by Tate Britain in 1984 to celebrate the cutting edge in new British art. In her lecture, Stout will discuss the role the Turner Prize has played within the institutional context of Tate Britain as well as its relationship to the contemporary arts scenes in London and abroad.
This event will be preceded by a small wine reception at 6:30 pm. The Curator’s Perspective is free of charge and open to the public, though seating is limited. To RSVP please contact Chelsea Haines at haines@ici-exhibitions.org or 212-254-8200 x26.
