The 2021 David and Yuko Juda Art Foundation Grant of £ 50,000 was given to Amikam Toren at a reception on 15 December 2021. A special extra grant of £ 10,000 went to Rie Nakajima.
Amikam Toren (b. 1945) is a significant figure in British conceptual art, who explores the conceptual and material framework that defines art. Since the 1970s, Toren has been producing artworks that look at the relation between form and content, object and representation, and between the languages of sculpture and painting. With a keen eye for the everyday and overlooked, and an interest in language and the process of interpretation, he scours his own studio and street and antique markets for his materials.
Rie Nakajima (b. 1976) is a Japanese artist working with installations and performances that produce sound. Her works are most often composed in direct response to unique architectural spaces using a combination of kinetic devices and found objects. Fusing sculpture and sound, her artistic practice is open to chance and the influence of others, raising important questions about the definition of art.
The curator for the 2021 grant was Jonathan Watkins, Director of IKON Gallery, Birmingham, and the nominated artists were Langlands and Bell, Susan Collis, Jeff McMillan, Mali Morris, Rie Nakajima, Perry Roberts, Amikam Toren and Alison Turnbull.

The 2019 David and Yuko Juda Art Foundation Grant of £ 50,000 was given to Zineb Sedira on 12 September 2019.

She received a BA from Central Saint Martins School of Art, London, in 1995 and MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 1997, and subsequently studied photography at the Royal College of Art, London. Sedira’s multiple identities as a French-born Algerian living in England inform her serene, often haunting photographs and video installation, which consider questions of memroy, displacement, and the transmission of history. The body of work presented here, entitled “Laughter in Hell”, is an extract from her current focus in the horrors of the 80s and 90s in Algeria.
