This is a Lip-smacking Turner Prize Shortlist

What a good Turner prize shortlist this is. With artists engaging in photography, sculpture, moving image, installation, performance, sound and the spoken word, what immediately strikes me, as well as their variety, are the thematic crossovers between them.
One can speak about the legacies of colonialism and migration that recur in the life histories and the art of both Ingrid Pollard and Veronica Ryan, who both came to the UK from the Caribbean as children in the 1950s, and of the questioning of identity and place in both their works and that of non-binary artist Sin Wai Kin (bought up in Toronto to a Hong Kong Chinese father and an English mother).
