Turner Prize artist Elizabeth Price turns curator

The British artist Elizabeth Price, who won the Turner Prize in 2012 for her multi-layered video installations, is trying her hand at curating. The exhibition she has organised for the Hayward Gallery in London’s national touring programme takes its title from a Jenny Holzer text piece: In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive and You Were Full of Joy. The show will open at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester this month (10 June-30 October) and will travel to two further UK venues in 2017. With international loans ranging from a Brancusi sculpture of an abstracted head to excerpts from films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Andy Warhol, the show explores the theme of the horizontal. Price has organised the works around sleeping, working, mourning and dancing. But if curating could also be described as an art form, Price is unlikely to return to it any time soon. “I’ve loved doing it, in a way, more than I love making my videos because they’re very lonely to make,” Price says. “But I think I’d need another ten years to bottle up the material to make another exhibition.”
