"We were fascinated to read such a wide-ranging selection of reviews, and the discussion that led us to make an award was rigorous and lengthy." - Peyton-Jones and Caiger-Smith John chose to write about a survey of the performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson’s work at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, in 2016. In addition to receiving the Prize of £1000, Parton, a Commissioning Editor at Laurence King Publishing, will be invited to write a review of a contemporary art exhibition for the Magazine in the coming months. Impressive precision: The judges' feedback The judges were Julia Peyton-Jones, former Director of the Serpentine Galleries, London, and Martin Caiger-Smith, Head of the MA Programme Curating the Art Museum at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. The judges were especially impressed by the precision with which Parton articulated the experience of viewing films of Kjartansson’s performances. They also highlighted the facility shown by Parton in providing a vivid, overarching sense of the artist’s work in only 1000 words. Honourable mentions for entries of exceptional calibre Having received over 100 entries from numerous countries to this year’s Prize, we were very impressed by their range and overall quality. Of these, the judges wished to give honourable mentions to Lucy Biddle for her review of a solo show by Tessa Lynch at the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, and Conrad Steel, who wrote about John Baldessari’s recent exhibition Miró and Life in General at Marian Goodman Gallery, London. The Burlington would like to thank everyone who participated in and supported the Prize, and look forward to the 2018 edition, for which applications will open in October.
