Laure Prouvost's Turner Prize-winning film installation Wantee returns to Coniston's Ruskin Museum
Laure Prouvost's 2013 Turner Prize-winning film installation, Wantee, is now on display at the Ruskin Museum in Coniston, Cumbria, in the Lake District. The work was originally created in Coniston with assistance from local residents. This exhibition, running through 9 March 2014, aims to enhance the cultural standing of both the museum and the village. Grizedale Arts, based in Coniston, co-commissioned the piece. The organization has previously collaborated in the village, including with Turner Prize nominee Liam Gillick on a library shelf redesign. The BBC reported on the installation's return.
