Gabriel Kidd

Adrian Carruthers Award
2026

Gabriel Kidd (b.1999) is currently thinking about: not-knowing, yearning, human cruising sites, non-human cruising sites, transitions between states, atmospheres of chance, life after habitat, failures, fragile things, flexible things, hard things made soft, soft things stitched together, wool, silk, latex, becoming a sheep, or a boulder, or a body in the bog and stumbling on to something you weren’t invited to but staying to watch anyway.

Adrian Carruthers Award

The Adrian Carruthers Award is a partnership between Acme and the Slade School of Fine Art, funded by Acme and the Adrian Carruthers Memorial Fund. Aiming to provide a bridge between art school and professional practice, the award includes a generous bursary, rent-free studio space and a mentoring programme. Recipients of Acme’s Early Career Awards Programme work from shared studios in order to encourage an environment of peer support and critical dialogue.
