The StartPoint Prize has been mapping out the diploma work of students graduating from European art schools since 2003 and today it is the largest review of its kind. This year, too, around 20 artists were selected from 34 schools in 18 different countries for the final exhibition at the National Gallery in Prague in October 2016. All the artists participated in person in the installation of the exhibition and the opening.
The further selection of 8 artists was made by the curators for the impressive historical spaces of Arti et Amicitiae art society.
StartPoint, with its unique extent, covers a varied mixture of art genres and approaches, ranging from classical painting through sculpture or photography up to multimedia installations and videos, thus presenting the full scope of the upcoming European art generation.
Artists: Hannah Anbert (Kunstakademiet Copenhagen), Jennifer Mattes (AdBK Wien), Vojtěch Pollák (AVU Praha), Līga Spunde (LMA Riga), Suzie van Staaveren (KABK Den Haag), Wuji Ye (Goldsmiths London)
Curators: Radek Váňa (Amsterdam) & Pavel Vančát (Prague)
Supported by the Tsjechisch Centrum (Rotterdam/Haag), DSV Road transport company, City of Prague and Czech Ministry of Culture.
