What happened

Four artists have been shortlisted for this year’s Turner Prize: Marguerite Humeau, Kira Freije, Tanoa Sasraku and Simeon Barclay.

Why it matters

Their work is now on display at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) in northern England, with works exploring everything from animals and survival to memory, society and personal experience.

Common ground

The exhibition features Humeau’s Torches, Freije’s Unspeak the Chorus, Sasraku’s Morale Patch and Barclay’s The Ruin.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
