Webb-Ellis and Richard Whitby are the commissioned artists for the Jerwood/FVU Awards 2019, the sixth edition of the Awards. The project awards £20,000 to each artist to develop significant new moving-image works. The resulting films premiere in an exhibition at Jerwood Space, London, in April 2019.
Responding to the curatorial theme, Going, Gone, the works by Webb-Ellis and Richard Whitby propose to act as a barometer of the uncertain present (and unclear future) of contemporary Britain in the lead-up to its declared exit from the European Union.
The Jerwood/FVU Awards 2019: Going, Gone is a collaboration between Jerwood Arts and Film and Video Umbrella. FVU is supported by Arts Council England.
