Turner Prize 2013: a dead dog, headless drummers and the first 'live encounter' entry Also nominated is Laure Prouvost, whose recent films have included the creation of a montage of images of the natural world in which she wanted to interpret the taste of the sun. The list is completed by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, who paints large-scale figures inspired by memory, imagination and scrapbooks. The nominees, who each take away at least £5,000, were announced at Tate Britain today and were chosen by a jury headed by Penelope Curtis, the director of Tate Britain. David Shrigley The 44-year-old artist, who was born in Macclesfield and works in Glasgow, is nominated for his solo exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, entitled Brain Activity. Judges considered it showcased "not only his well-loved drawings but also photography, sculpture, film," adding it "revealed his black humour, macabre intelligence and infinite jest." He is best known for his "simple and direct drawings and animations that make satirical comments on everyday situations and human interactions," they added. His work includes a stuffed Jack Russell dog holding a sign saying 'I'm Dead', and a granite headstone with a shopping list engraved on it. David Shrigley, Headless Drummer 2012 Laure Prouvost Born in France, the 35-year-old artist now works in London and is nominated for her Wantee project, commissioned for inclusion in the Schwitters In Britain exhibition at the Tate. She is also shortlisted for her two-part installation for the Max Mara art prize for Women, inspired by Italy. Judges said "her unique approach to filmmaking, often situated within atmospheric installations, employs strong story telling, quick cuts, montage and deliberate misuse of language to create surprising and unpredictable work."

Judges said her "intruiging paintings appear traditional but are in fact much more innovative. Her portraits of imaginary people use invented pre-histories and raise pertinent questions about how we read pictures in general, particularly with regard to black subjects. The artist describes her own work as "paragraphs or sentences; they are the traces of a moment in a narrative that she leaves behind for her audiences to decipher." Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Complication, 2013 Tino Sehgal The 36-year-old artist, born in London and working in Berlin, is nominated for his "pioneering" projects involving "live encounters": This Variation at documenta (XIII) and These Associations at Tate Modern. It is the first time a live, partially structured exhibition has been included in the Turner Prize shortlist. His works involved "constructed situations," with visitors to These Associations embarking on conversations with participants about "what progress might be." Judges said his work "tests the limits of artistic material and audience perception in a new and significant way." Tino Sehgal and participants of These Associations
