JESSE DARLING
Né en 1987
Vit et travaille à Berlin
La pratique pluridisciplinaire de Jesse Darling étudie la manière dont les sujets corporels sont initialement formés et continuellement réformés par des influences sociopolitiques. JD s'inspire de sa propre expérience ainsi que des récits de l'histoire et de la contre-histoire. Il explore la vulnérabilité inhérente au corps et la façon dont la mortalité inévitable des êtres vivants se traduit dans les civilisations et les structures. Avec un éventail de biens de consommation flottants, de dispositifs de soutien, d'objets liturgiques, de matériaux de construction, de personnages fictifs et de symboles mythiques, le travail de JD recontextualise les objets fabriqués par l'homme pour révéler leur précarité. Les formes simultanément blessées et libérées mettent à nu leur fragilité et leur besoin de soins et de guérison. En 2023, la Tate lui a décerné le prix Turner 2023 en peinture.
JESSE DARLING
Born in 1987
Lives & works in Berlin
Jesse Darling’s multi-disciplinary practice considers how bodily subjects are initially formed and continuously reformed through sociopolitical influences. JD draws on his own experience as well as the narratives of history and counter-history. He explores the inherent vulnerability of being a body, and how the inevitable mortality of living things translates to civilizations and structures. Featuring an array of free-floating consumer goods, support devices, liturgical objects, construction materials, fictional characters and mythical symbols, JD’s work recontextualizes manmade objects to reveal their precarity. Simultaneously wounded and liberated shapes outwardly bare their frailty and need for care and healing. In 2023, he was awarded the Turner Prize 2023 in Painting by the Tate.

British artist and this year’s Turner Prize winner Jesse Darling talks about his prize-winning work which has been described as "delirious" and "juggling" with themes of Brexit, nationality, identity, bureaucracy, immigration and austerity. Humorous and bold, it's made up of net curtains, crowd control barriers, washing lines, bunting and ring binders, among other discarded junk. He talks to Eve Jackson about making a state-of-the-nation address and his next project, inspired by French novelist and playwright Jean Genet's novel "Our Lady of the Flowers" about underground queer Parisian life, written in prison in the 1940s.

Where are we, Jesse? The answer is not clear.
In this video, artist Jesse Darling and a small film crew go on a road trip across the UK. Passing through seaside towns, container ports, service stations, retail parts and an abandoned airport, this is a journey that encounters at every turn the barriers and borders (both physical and invisible) of modern Britain.
It’s a journey without a final destination, but one that hints at just how complicated and connected, how wonderful and terrible everything is.
Jesse Darling is nominated for the 2023 Turner Prize, hosted by Towner Eastbourne. The winner will be announced on 5 December 2023.
