Reviews
(For)
Adrian
Searle (Guardian) -... no painting or scuplture, but the best
lineup for years (*****)
Laura
Cumming (Observer) - Naeem Mohaiemen mesmerises with a man
in limbo while Forensic Architecture speaks truth to power in a terrific year
for the Turner prize
En Liang
Khong (Frieze) - The Moral
Clarity of The Turner Prize 2018
Matthew
Collings (Evening Standard) – This
year’s contenders are so rewarding it’s hard to pick a winner
(Against)
Michael
Glover (Independent) – The Turner Prize in 2018 is a miserable,
tedious, poker-faced display
Mark
Hudson (The Telegraph) - …is this really the future of art? Heaven
help us?
Waldemar
Januszczak (Sunday Times/Blog) The Turner Prize 2018 exhibition… is thoroughly consistent. From
beginning to end, this soul-crusher of a show is unusually awful
