Angela Bulloch
Shortlisted: 1997

Angela Bulloch makes cool, immaculately fabricated mixed-media sculptures which often include functional elements that can be activated by the viewer, or that are modified by the passing of time. She has said 'I am interested in how things evolve, or shift their meaning when you move them into various different contexts. I am also involved in a consideration of time-scale as a framework, rather than assuming a fixed perspective ... I like the apparent contradiction of defining something which is always subject to change'.

Angela Bulloch was born in Ontario, Canada in 1966 and studied at Goldsmiths College from 1985 to 1988. She was shortlisted in 1997 for her inventive use of a wide range of mixed media, as demonstrated in life/live at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
