Elizabeth Price (born 1966) lives and works in London
Price predominantly works in moving image. She uses high-definition digital video, with live action, motion graphics, 3D computer animation and sound. Her work is informed by histories of narrative cinema and experimental film, but more precisely concerned with digital video, and in particular its contemporary heterogeneity as a medium used for navigation, advertising, knowledge organisation as well as cinematic special effects.
In 2012 Price was awarded the prestigious Turner Prize. She was awarded a major production grant by Film London for her work WEST HINDER (2012), which was exhibited in a solo exhibition at The Baltic, Gateshead, and subsequently led to her being nominated for the Turner Prize. Price recently exhibited ‘USER GROUP DISCO’ (2009) as part of the British Art Show and ‘THE TENT’ (2012) at Bloomberg Space, London. She completed the Helen Chadwick Fellowship in 2011, during which she developed ‘THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979’, which was premiered at MOTINTERNATIONAL, and exhibited at Tate Britain.
