Sculpture award
‘The Broomhill National Sculpture Prize is an annual competition set up by the Broomhill Art and Sculpture Foundation to provide an exciting challenge for new and emerging UK based sculptors.’
The prize is £15000 but as in all of these competition it is the publicity and expose that the winning artist can get that is most prized. When we visited we made our choices. We didn’t take a photograph of all entries but if you click each picture it will take you to the blurb of each plus details of the other entries.
Which gets your choice?
While you slept I was alone in my eternity
Salten Skov
Hiccup
The Gateway
Now these last 2 are not part of this years short list but I had to share them with you. This small exhibition by Mike Roles is called ‘Welcome to the Third Millenium’. It is a very stark, graphic project that does not suit everyone. Hubby found it very disturbing. I wanted to use this as a prompt for 100WC but he felt it was too dark. What do you think?
I used another of Mike Roles pieces for 100wc for grown ups Week#151 so have a look at that piece. Do you prefer that one?
Finally, this trio ‘The Lads’ as hubby named them were not part of this year’s competition but was a finalist in 2013. The piece is called ‘Familiar’
Do click each other the photos to get the blurb from the artists and further links to their work.
Now, which is your favourite?
The first photo disturbs me. I choose that one because it made me shiver. All I can think of is man’s inhumanity to man. <3
From the blurb Tess, it was done by the artist rather than to someone (if you see what I mean)
Aah. I see…
It was really hard, but several months after I went I voted for Gateway!
In a bright mood I’d go for Hiccup & was unsettled by ‘While I slept’. There was little water as you can see. I think that would make it feel different.
Hi, Julia. I thought you might want to know that your link to 100WC #151 is not working. When I clicked on it, I got a page saying, “You are not allowed to edit this item.” I tried it 2 times.
Thanks Sandra. It is so difficult on an ipad! Have changed it now!
