Video artist, Matt Stokes has won the fifteenth annual Beck’s Futures Prize. The £20,000 award was judged by a prestigious panel that included Jake and Dinos Chapman, Cornelia Parker and Yinka Shonibare. Voting also tied up with a new online public system, while the outcome leant predominantly in the favour of Stokes’ work. His seven-minute film, ‘Long After Tonight’, which documents a 1960s northern soul evening, will be on show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, until the 14th May.
