IKOB – Feminist Art Prize
IKOB – Museum für Zeitgenössiche Kunst, 2022With works by Dani/ela Bershan, Jieun Lim, Sandrine Morgante, Marnie Slater, Céline Vahsen and Puck Verkade.
IKOB – Museum of Contemporary Art has awarded an artist prize every three years since the institution’s beginnings. 2019 was the first time the award was given an explicitly feminist focus. The first contemporary art award of this kind, IKOB continues this emphasis for the 2022 edition of the prize.
The IKOB – Feminist Art Prize aims to amplify artistic voices that have less power in the contemporary art world and in society at large. The prize poses the open question of what feminism in all its forms might mean to artists working today and supports artistic practice that pushes us to re-imagine the reality we live in. The six nominated artists for the 2022 Art Prize are: Dani/ela Bershan, Jieun Lim, Sandrine Morgante, Marnie Slater, Céline Vahsen, and Puck Verkade, all of whom are part of the prize exhibition.
Jury: Paula van den Bosch (Chief Curator, Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, NL), Anastasia Chaguidouline (Artistic Director, Cercle Cité, LU), Els Roelandt (Editor, KIOSK, Ghent, BE) and Nadia Vilenne (gallerist, Liège, BE).
