“Kaur, 38, the youngest artist on this year’s shortlist, was nominated for her exhibition Alter Altar, at Tramway in Glasgow, which featured a range of sculptures and soundscapes. Among the items included was a red Ford Escort covered in a huge doily, a reference to her father’s first car and to Indians who migrated to Britain and worked in textile factories.”
