In the short list were three of the artist and a team of 18 young architects

Glasgow expert Council of the Turner Prize announced the list of nominees this year. In the fight for the main prize in British contemporary art will take three artist — Bonnie Camplin (Bonnie Camplin), Janice Kerbel (Janice Kerbel) and Nicole Wermers (Nicole Wermers), and a team of 18 young architects Assemble.

If projects whose authors included in last year's short list, many have seemed too abstract, esoteric and obscure, in projects this year, by contrast, dominates current political and social issues. "I think that the prize becomes more serious, — commented the head of the expert Council, Tate Director Penelope Curtis. — She lost touch of sensationalism that took place before, and it's for the best. At the dawn of the history of the award, one of the main objectives was to raise the level of debate about contemporary art, and I think everything turned out — the excessive simplicity is no more. These artists pose difficult for all of us questions."

"Award departs from the understanding of art only as entertainment, — believes the jury member, Director of the Institute of modern art Middlesbrough Alistair Hudson. — These artists work to what-то happened that-то changed. It is very good for art in the future — they try to do what-то real and not just what-то to present".

Assemble — a team of designers and architects, each of whom not more than 30, — was nominated for the Turner prize for the restructuring of the old residential district in Liverpool. "In a time when anything can be called art, why art cannot become the residential area?" — comments on the choice of the expert Council Alistair Hudson. The highlight of the project is that the initiative of updating the old houses of red brick belonged to locals. They founded the Foundation for public land, raised funds and invited architects from Assemble.

Rest of the nominees live and work in London. Artist and teacher of art history Bonnie Camplin (Bonnie Camplin) was selected for the project "Military-промышленный complex". Camplin transformed the room into a kind of archive of the room and invited everyone to read the documents in this archive on research "conditioned reality", especially in relation to mental health. "She says what-то present and trying what-то to do about it. She believes in it. She tries that-то change; it does this not just for the sake of creativity", — comments on jury selection Hodson@
