Form the ICA press release:
Cambridge artist Kelly Sherman is the winner of the 2006 James and Audrey Foster Prize, the Institute of Contemporary Art announced today. This biennial award recognizing a Boston-area artist of exceptional promise includes a $25,000 prize and an opportunity for the finalists to present their work in an exhibition at the ICA. Kelly Sherman's video and text-based works reveal the dynamics of personal relationships and examine the place of emotion in our often cynical world. Sherman's exhibition, along with work by the three other finalist--Sheila Gallagher, Jane D. Marsching, and Rachel Perry Welty--will be on view at the ICA through March 11, 2007.
The winner was chosen by a distinguished jury including Lisa Corrin, Director of the Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, MA; Taylor Davis, artist, associate professor at Massachusetts College of Art, and winner of the 2001 ICA Artist Prize; Billie Tsien, Principal of Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates in New York; and Benjamin Weil, Director of Artists Space in New York.
