ESSL ART AWARD CEE 2011

The ESSL ART AWARD is dedicated to the discovery and support of young creative talents in Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia. The ESSL ART AWARD aims at supporting artists who are still in training. Collaboration with the art academies is a central point in this endeavour, as they are the nucleus and well-established centres for the training of future generations of artists.

The ESSL ART AWARD covers the countries besides Austria where bauMax has a business presence: Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Through local contacts, bauMax essentially supports the organization and implementation of the ESSL ART AWARD which is designed to promote and disseminate the contemporary art of these countries at an international level.

Henkel Art Award 2010

In 2010, Vienna-based Henkel Central Eastern Europe (Henkel CEE) announces – for the ninth straight year - its call for entries for the Henkel Art.Award. the only comprehensive art promotion prize for the Central and Eastern European and Central Asian region. The Henkel Art.Award. 2010, endowed to the sum of 7,000 euros, invites fine artists from 31 countries to participate and submit their entries. The prize winner of the Henkel Art.Award. 2010 will be invited to display his or her works of art within the framework of an individual exhibition in the “Museum der Modernen Kunst Stiftung Ludwig” (Museum of Modern Art - MUMOK) in Vienna, thus making the art accessible to the general public.
Without prescribing any pre-defined themes, the Henkel Art.Award. bestows prizes for outstanding and innovative entries from fine artists in the fields of painting, drawing, photography, video and installation. In a multi-phased selection process, a prominent, top-class international jury consisting of curators and museum experts will choose the winner from the submitted entries.
KulturKontakt Austria is the longstanding, tried and tested partner of Henkel CEE for this project. This association has been promoting and initiating art projects in Central, Eastern and South East Europe for 20 years. In 2009, Henkel CEE attracted the Viennese museum MUMOK as a further partner.
In addition to the prize money and an exhibition in his or her native country, this year’s winner will be given the opportunity to display his or her works of art in a separate exhibition hosted by MUMOK in Vienna in the following year.
Numerous Henkel Art.Award. finalists or winners in recent years have been subsequently invited to international exhibitions and enjoyed international success. For example, the 2008 award winner Miha Strukelj was asked to take part in the 2009 Biennale de Venezia.
