Statement of the international jury:
This year saw a record number of applicants and the jury meeting was intense yet effective. Through careful analysis of the applicants' profiles and portfolios, we reached an agreement to highlight four artists whose voices seemed very strong both in terms of concept and visuality. We kept in mind medium diversity and emphasized artists who applied more than once. From our perspective, the work of the selected quartet responds to the challenges that art and artists have to face in dealing with the complexities of the contemporary world. We have decided to nominate artistic practices that open up new ways to think about identity and otherness (Kvet Nguyen), challenge the borders of the medium (Světlana Fialová), acknowledge the diversity and humor that art can offer (Tomáš Moravanský), and engage in a dialogue with nature in relation to emergent technologies (Paula Malinowska).
