Oliver Beer creates sculptures, paintings, installations, videos, and immersive live performances that reveal the hidden properties of objects, bodies, and architectural sites. His social and familial relationships often serve as the blueprint for multidisciplinary works that engage with both intimate and universal concerns, such as the transmission of musical memories and the personal and cultural meanings embedded in the objects we possess. In his Resonance Project (2007‒), vocal performances activate the natural harmonics of built structures, forging a visceral connection between the audience and interior space. Beer’s Resonance Paintings are made with the vibration of sound waves on canvas, visually manifesting the unseen harmonics that surround us. His video works similarly explore these themes by weaving together fragmented moments and perspectives, creating immersive experiences at the convergence of audio and visual perception.

Now in its 4th consecutive year, the CIRCA PRIZE returns with an open call for artists to win £40,000 through submitting a 2.5 minute video work in response to the CIRCA 20:24 manifesto, ‘Break Free Time’s Arrow Flies Forever Forward’ – in a bid to discover, platform and champion the future visionaries who are shaping our world for the better.

A prestigious jury, featuring past CIRCA artists and long-time collaborators including Marina Abramović, Lisa Anderson, Nicoletta Fiorucci, Michèle Lamy, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Josef O’Connor, Kembra Pfahler, Sir Norman Rosenthal, Slawn, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Ai Weiwei, will come together to select the winner of the £30k CIRCA PRIZE.

Plus, an online public vote, powered by Piccadilly Lights, will grant an additional £10k to the artist with the most votes. That’s £40k in total up for grabs!

The winners will be announced during a LIVE! ceremony in Piccadilly Circus on Tueaday, 1 October at 8pm BST.
