Turner Prize was an artist collective that operated between 2008-2012. Based in Regina, SK, the entity Turner Prize, made up of artists Jason Cawood, Blair Fornwald, and John G. Hampton, explored the mysterious, social, and translative properties of the "creative act." Their work explored the intangibility of dreams, ideas, and histories through their origin (dreamers, artists, and events) and their destination (images, writings and other representations). It was the interstices, the shifts, and intangible spaces between ideas and representations, which motivated their collective practice. Their investigations into this liminal space utilized the language of dream analysis and interpretation, ritual and magick, and appropriated the aesthetics of mid-century pop psychology and psychedelia. In their four active years, Turner Prize* presented performance, photography, and installation across Canada and the United States.
