Elizabeth Price wins Contemporary Art Society award
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Turner Prize Winner Elizabeth Price has been given this year's Contemporary Art Society Award.
Price was awarded the £60,000 prize money and will create a moving image piece for the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Price's work is predominantly inspired and informed by mainstream films and experimental cinema. Her piece for the Ashmolean will use images, text and music to explore some of the museum's archives and collections.
Through careful editing, she will form links between different collections, particularly photographs of artefacts and documents used by anthropologists and archaeologists.
The Contemporary Art Society is a national charity that seeks to promote an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art across the UK.
The commission will be unveiled in 2015.
