1 week ago Turner prize 2025 review – puzzling banners, tinkling bells, burning landscapes and bum

Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, BradfordThere are calls for peace, intimations of violence, Korean folklore and spiralling vortices: everyone has a spiel but one artist stands outIntimations of war and the bill for a Brick Lane curry. Queer kisses, shamanistic gurgling, miles of VHS tape and lasers in the jungle. This year’s Turner prize exhibition opens this Saturday at Cartwright Hall in Bradford, the current UK city of culture.A soundtrack of a 16th-century Lutheran hymn and peals of church bells create an unresolvable conflict with the small photographs trapped behind glass on a low shelf in Rene Matić’s installation. The voices of Nina Simone and bell hooks are dragged from the ether, along with the chants of trans rights activists and commuters calling for a free Palestine. Rihanna sings Lift Me Up a cappella as I go from snapshot to snapshot, looking for the story amid the club scenes and marches, the street graffiti and a baby in a bath. Here’s an elderly man in hospital, then ...

2 w. ago ‘It really bores me’: Wayne McGregor on why he won’t spell out his striking dance creations

The choreographer has paired the tragedies of Oedipus Rex and Antigone in a monumental double bill, Jocasta’s Line, which refuses to spoon-feed audiencesWhen Stravinsky composed Oedipus Rex in 1927, Jean Cocteau wrote a French libretto based on Sophocles’s tragedy, which was then translated into Latin, a language Stravinsky called “not dead but turned to stone”. It was to be mere syllables to sing notes to, immune to “vulgarisation” as he put it – a way to tell a tragedy without too much pesky drama getting in the way.In choreographer Wayne McGregor’s production of Oedipus Rex, paired with a new ballet based on the myth of Antigone and premiered by the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, there is drama, but it is of the stark, unsentimental kind. The double bill is entitled Jocasta’s Line, as Jocasta, queen of Thebes, sees her husband/son (spoiler, they’re the same person!) and daughter meet tragic ends.
