The RBS Bursary Awards 2011 is a showcase of current contemporary practice; ten sculptors have been presented with this prestigious award and this unique opportunity of exhibiting their work as part of a group show in London. RBS Bursary Award Winners 2011: James Balmforth, David Buckley, Alex Chinneck, Mark Davey, Sian Griffiths, Julia Malle, Kate McLeod, Eric Schumacher, Katie Surridge, Hannah Wiles. ‘Ultimately sculpture’s defining virtue is that it exists in the world. Rather than being forced to stand back in contemplation, viewers are invited to step forward and engage with work. Sculpture is social. It is restless in its enquiries about space and place. And it continues to Thrive. We can see all of these qualities on display in the work of the winners of this year’s RBS Bursary Awards.’ Ekow Eshun, August 2011. The RBS Bursary Awards are supported by the Gilbert Bayes Charitable Trust
