The Jerwood/Film and Video Umbrella Awards are major new awards for moving-image artists with a bursary and commissioning fund totalling £56,000.
Each of the artists has been awarded a £4,000 bursary, along with six-months support and mentoring from Film and Video Umbrella, to develop pre-production proposals for significant new works, which will be exhibited as part of the JVA programme at Jerwood Space from 14 March – 22 April 2012.
The exhibition, entitled Tomorrow Never Knows, will consider the artists’ own individual ‘projects for the future’ against the larger theme of ‘futures past’, offering reminders of the fleeting nature or the untapped potential of earlier manifestations of the future, whilst also reflecting on the uncertainties of futurology.
During the exhibition, two of the artists will be selected to receive a £20,000 commission and support from Film and Video Umbrella to develop their ideas into finished works. The final works will premiere at JVA at Jerwood Space in 2013.
