Deadline: 6 May, 2012
Ukraine
prize money: USD 100.000,-
All artists up to 35 may apply with their work without any restrictions concerning gender, nationality, race or artistic medium.
The artists apply through an open call via the Internet. Application form will be available to all on the Prize website from 6 February till 6 May 2012.
Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andreas Gursky and Takashi Murakami are Mentor Artists for the Prize, providing advice and support for the winning artist. Andreas Gursky will present an exhibition of his own works at the PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv, Ukraine at the same time as that of the shortlisted artists.
The Prize is open to all artists up to the age of 35 with the aim of acknowledging and giving long-term support to a future generation of artists. The Prize is unique because of its global reach and highly democratic form of application via the Internet.
Following the close of applications, an expert Selection Committee comprised of members chosen by the jury will review all applications and decide on a shortlist of as many as twenty artists, whose names will be announced in June 2012. These artists will participate in the Prize exhibition by showing existing works highlighted in their applications and may also create new works specifically for the PinchukArtCentre. The winner of the national PinchukArtCentre Prize also will participate, bringing the maximum number of artists in the exhibition to 21.
The exhibition will be on view from October 2012 to January 2013. The international jury will gather in Kiev in December 2012 to view and discuss the artists’ works.
50 Partner Platforms representing more than 38 countries will support the application process and the Prize in 2012. It shows how successfully the Prize has extended its global network and range to involve artists from different regions around the world, especially reaching growing regions such as South America, Australia, Africa and Oceania.
