PinchukArtCentre Prize 2011. PinchukArtCentre, through 8 January 2012
PinchukArtCentre, one of the most significant art spaces in the Ukrainian capital, is currently hosting the 2011 PinchukArtCentre Prize exhibition; the show, running through early January, features twenty artists represented by over sixty works, created with the support of the art centre especially for the event. The prize was founded with the objective of discovering new phenomena of visual art, as well as promoting and providing long-term support to the young generation of Ukrainian artists. Any Ukrainian artist who is 35 or younger can apply to the first national visual arts prize in the country (the prize was first awarded in 2009). A specially selected panel of experts choose the candidates who then take part in the group exhibition; the winner is announced by a special international jury. This year, the members of the jury include Kate Bush, Head of the Barbican Art Gallery (UK); Marc Olivier Wahler, Director of
Palais de Tokyo centre for contemporary art (France); Ekaterina Degot, art critic and curator, Professor of Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia (Russia); Pavel Makov, artist, member of London's Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (UK, Ukraine); Hans Ulrich Obrist, Director of the Serpentine Gallery (UK); Eckhard Schneider, Director of PinchukArtCentre (Germany, Ukraine) and the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson.
Along with the prize money, the winner also gets an opportunity to train under the wing of a world famous artist: the 2009 Grand Prix winner Artem Volokitin and winner of a special prize Masha Shubina spent some time at the London studio of Antony Gormly; the winner of the other special prize Oleksii Salmanov visited Olafur Eliasson in Berlin.
Viktor Pinchuk is considered one of the most successful Ukrainian entrepreneurs and was included in the 2010 Time Magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people.
