Default Turner Prize: 2012 shortlist announced




A woman who once based a work around Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt is one of the four artists shortlisted for this year's £25,000 Turner Prize.



Paul Noble creates large-scale, intricate drawings of a fictional metropolis, named Nobson Newtown. His nominated work is called Public Toilet.


Performance artist Lali "Spartacus" Chetwynd joins Luke Fowler, Paul Noble and Elizabeth Price on the shortlist.

The prestigious prize is awarded to a British artist, under the age of 50, considered to have put on the best exhibition of the last 12 months.



Spartacus Chetwynd is nominated for her exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, London. Her carnivalesque installations use handmade costumes and sets.


The winning artist will be announced at Tate Britain in London on 3 December.

Sculptor Martin Boyce, whose works include artificial trees and a leaning litter bin, won in 2011.

This year's judges include Andrew Hunt of the Focal Point Gallery in Southend-on-Sea, Heike Munder from the Migros Museum fur Gegenwartskunst in Zurich, and Michael Stanley of Modern Art Oxford.



All Divided Selves by Luke Fowler is a film exploring the life and work of Scottish psychiatrist, RD Laing.


Mark Salden from Denmark's Kunsthal Charlottenborg will also sit on the panel alongside Tate Britain director Penelope Curtis, chair of the jury.

Previous recipients of the prize, first awarded in 1984, include Antony Gormley, Damien Hirst, Steve McQueen and Grayson Perry.



Elizabeth Price, a video artist, is nominated for her solo exhibition at the Baltic, Gateshead.


Speaking to the BBC, Perry said Paul Noble would be his pick of this year's nominees.

"He has been a long-time slogger at the coal face of culture and he deserves to be on the shortlist," he said.

Perry, who won the Turner in 2003 for a series of vases depicting subjects like death and child abuse, said the prize was "very relevant still".

"It's still a good calling card," he said. "It's awarded by your peers, so it's important".

Work by the shortlisted artists will be shown in an exhibition at Tate Britain opening on 2 October.
