OPEN CALL FOR PINCHUK PRIZE
With his new, $100,000
Future Generation Art Prize, Ukrainian steel magnate and art super-patron
Victor Pinchuk is more democratic than most, issuing an "open call" for artists to enter the competition (In an interview with
Bloomberg, Pinchuk reveals that he was inspired by the ethos of
Takashi Murakami’s
GEISAI Museum fair, for which he has served as a judge). Applications -- and thousands should pour in -- go online on Jan. 18, 2010, at
www.futuregenerationartprize.org. As far as we can tell, no application fee is required. In addition, some 100 nominators are to suggest candidates for the award
The prize is designed to support "a generation of emerging artists," and so is restricted to artists aged 35 and under. In addition to the $100,000 grand prize, five $20,000 artist-in-residency awards are planned. Strangely, the competition calls for four "mentor artists" --
Andreas Gursky,
Damien Hirst,
Jeff Koons and
Takashi Murakami -- to give "counsel and support" to prizewinners.
The scheme calls for works by group of shortlisted artists to go on view at the
Pinchuk Art Centre in October, and a winner of the main prize to be selected by an international jury in December 2010. The award is overseen by a board that includes, along with the four mentor artists,
Eli Broad,
Dakis Joannou,
Elton John,
Miuccia Prada,
Guggenheim Museum director
Richard Armstrong,
Museum of Modern Art director
Glenn D. Lowry,
Alfred Pacquement of the
Pompidou Centre, and
Tate head
Nicholas Serota.

Due December 18, 2009
www.aferro.org
submit@aferro.org
About the Residency:
Several of the 08-09 Aferro Studio residents have commented that the chance for informal networking with peers afforded by residency in the
building was one of the best aspects of their experience. Also mentioned by residents consistently as a unique and valuable aspect of
the program was temporary ownership of a platform to interact with the public.
Residents will be awarded a 1200-2000 sq ft studio for 6 months, with 24 hr access, access to visiting curators and other gallery directors,
a solo exhibition in our project space, and inclusion in an end-of-program catalog highlighting their work over the length of the
residency. The current Aferro building can accommodate up to 5 artists at a time. Artists will be selected on the basis of quality of work,
commitment to their field, and ability to interact positively with the community at large. The program will aim for a mix of Newark and
non-Newark residents.
The Studios
Studios range in size from 1200 to 2000 square feet. The studios are strictly work only spaces. The studios are raw spaces with minimal
amenities. Artists who are accepted into the program must be prepared to actively use their studio. 6-month slots are available beginning
Feb 20, 2010
Artist Responsibilities
$225 a month per studio covers all utilities.
