More about all the artists at www.startpointprize.eu.
In the 9th year of its existence, STARTPOINT includes 34 prestigious art schools from 19 European countries. At each school a jury of three members chooses one graduate thesis work and at the opening of the exhibition the international jury awards a main prize and several honorary mentions. In the following year all the awarded artists are invited to participate in the residential project Started, resulting in a group show; the winner is awarded the opportunity to publish his/her own catalogue. Thus the whole project StartPoint creates a unique and continuous documentation of the emerging art generation but also a wide network of new contacts and a platform for further opportunities to meet and cooperate.
P. S.: With pleasure we announce that StartPoint 2012 will také place at DOX Center for Contemporary Art in Prague (dox.cz/en/) during September/October. We are already looking forward for another year of exciting searching for emerging talents around Europe!
