MaxMara Art Prize for Women: Hannah Rickards

5 Sep-23 Sep 2009

Overview

The MaxMara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery is a biannual award recognising the achievements of a UK-based artist who has not yet had a major solo exhibition. This display of 2007–09 winner Hannah Rickards premieres a new screen-based work based on spoken accounts of the image of a city seen over Lake Michigan, the result of rare temperature inversion mirages. At the core of the film are the differing subjective recollections of witnesses to the phenomenon.
