19th – 22nd May 2011
Celebrating its fifth year, the Catlin Art Prize showcases work by notable
alumni alongside the fresh selection of young talent at The Tramshed
To celebrate the fifth year of The Catlin Art Prize, the 2011 exhibition will switch to a new venue in the heart of Shoreditch, The Tramshed, and will invite former winners and key artists from previous years to show alongside the fresh selection of recent graduates.
Following publication of The Catlin Guide 2011, a comprehensive survey of the 40 most promising young artists from throughout the UK, Art Catlin is pleased to announce this year’s shortlist for The Catlin Art Prize: Leah Capaldi (Royal College of Art), Darren Harvey-Regan (Royal College of Art), Russell Hill (Wimbledon College ofArt), Noemie Goudal (Royal College of Art) and Juliette Losq (Royal Academy Schools).

Showing alongside the 2011 shortlist will be previous winners Brigitte Williams, Alex Ball, Sarah Lederman, and Reynir Hutber, as well as former participants such as Jasmina Cibic, Adam Dix and David A. Smith. The Catlin Guide and Catlin Art Prize have proven a significant springboard to success for many of these artists, with several exhibiting in high-profile shows throughout the UK. 2008 winner Alex Ball and 2010 finalist Adam Dix both recently enjoyed sell-out shows (at the University of Arts and Haunch of Venison respectively) while 2009 winner Sarah
Lederman has gone on to exhibit alongside Tracey Emin and Cecily Brown.
Catlin Guide artists Nick Goss and Luke Rudolf are currently showing at the Saatchi Gallery as part of Newspeak: British Art Now II.
“After two years at the same venue, I welcome the chance to present in a new space. I think the 2010 prize was the best exhibition we could possibly have staged at the Village Underground and I don’t want to fall into the trap of trying
to repeat that show. It’s vital to keep the prize evolving. In terms of reputation, the award and exhibition have grown steadily over the past five years and The Guide has allowed us to reach out to a wider audience. I’m encouraging the
artists to experiment with this space and there will be performance pieces and one or two other surprises. It’s also a great opportunity to welcome back previous artists and measure how their careers have started to flourish.”
Justin Hammond, curator of the Catlin Art Prize and Editor of The Catlin Guide
