This year, the four artists who have been shortlisted for the prize are Runa Islam, known for her carefully choreographed films that are both analytical and emotionally charged; Mark Leckey, who uses sculpture, film, sound and performance to communicate his fascination with contemporary culture; Goshka Macuga, whose form of ‘cultural archaeology’ uses work by artists past and present in new, dramatic environments; and Cathy Wilkes, who precisely arranges readymade objects, everyday materials and small sculptures to invoke daily human experience.
