A streak of subversive humour runs through the work of this years nominations for the £40,000 Turner Prize.
The artists are Lynette Yiadom-Boakye for her paintings; Tino Sehgal, for his performance work in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in London last summer; Laure Prouvost for her witty, absurd films-cum-installations and David Shrigley, whose Hayward Gallery exhibition last year introduced fans of his piquant, cartoonish drawings and animations to his work as a sculptor.
You can find more information about them here and let us know who you think should win!
The Turner prize exhibition this year will be in Derry-Londonderry as part of the UK City of Culture celebrations, from 23 October. The winner of the £40,000 prize will be announced on 2 December 2013.
