Curate Award

Qatar Museums Authority and Fondazione Prada announced the twenty finalists for Curate, the international competion that searchs for curatorial talent.

Curate, an award launched by Fondazione Prada and the Qatar Museums Authority, is a global search for curatorial talent.

The competition recognises that we are all curators. Everything we choose and collect to surround us has meaning. Great curatorial expressions and ideas on how to exhibit can be communicated in all artistic forms and media, by anyone, whether in the art world or not. Participation in the competition is not limited to aspiring or established curators; anyone with a great concept is encouraged to enter.

Curate’s international award is composed by Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, President ofl Qatar Museums Authority; Miuccia Prada, President of Fondazione Prada; Rem Koolhaas, founding partner of The Office of Metropolitan Architecture(OMA); Nadine Labaki, Libanese filmmaker and actress; Nawal El Moutawakel, Vice President of the International Olympic Committee; Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-director of the Serpentine Gallery, London.

The jury judged ideas on their creativity and social importance, rewarding those with a contemporary and culturally relevant point of view. They were looking for an exemplary exhibition that is both far-sighted and critical of the future. The jury selected 20 finalists from which the overall winner will be decided.

The final selection is composed by: “A Fuego”, Rodrigo Orrantia Gómez (Colombia, 1977); “An Informal Settlement”, Claire Breukel (USA, 1979); “Camping Park”, Rodrigo Vilhena (Portugal, 1968); “Collapsed City”, Nacho Ruiz (Spain, 1975); “Continuity - Syrian City Paintings”, Róza El-Hassan (Syria, 1966); “Copyleft”, Liping Xiang (China, 1976); Directly Mild, Maria Loizidou (Ciprus, 1958); “Eating Habits”, Alice Liechtenstein (Austria, 1978); “Epigenetic Space”, John-Paul Pryor e Alessandra Cianchetta (UK); “Erase”, Federico Pepe (Italy, 1976); “Extinct in the Wild,” Michael Wang (USA, 1981); “metaPhorest”, Habu Kazuhito e Yuki Yoshioka (Japan).
