The 2010 judges have been announced for the art world’s most (in)famous contemporary art award, the Turner prize, which is announced with much fanfare (usually by a mega-star presenter) every December at the Tate in London. The prize is awarded each year to “a British artist under fifty for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in the twelve months preceding”, according to the Tate website. The lucky luminaries selected as next year’s judges are Gordon Burn, writer and journalist; Isabel Carlos, Director of the Centre for Modern Art CAMJAP in Lisbon; Andrew Nairne, Executive Director, Arts Strategy Arts Council England (National Office), and Polly Staple, Director of London’s Chisenhale Gallery. The chair is set to be the director of Tate Britain but with the current head Stephen Deuchar set to leave Millbank for The Art Fund next January, who will now calm nerves, pour tea and preside over the prize proceedings?
