The Biela Kocka award for the JAMA festival
On Monday, October 2, 2023, the Council of Galleries of Slovakia announced the winning projects of the 7th year of the BIELA KOCKA award for 2022. Congratulations to our colleague, Fero Király, co-organizer of the intermedia festival JAMA - the 76th year of Milan Adamčiak, who was awarded in the Independent project category.
Awardees: Fero Király and Eva Vozárová
INDEPENDENT PROJECT - JAMA, 76th edition of Milan Adamčiak; an intermedia art event realized by the association ooo JAMA in Banská Štiavnica
"JAMA goes beyond the scope of a classically perceived cultural event. Rather than a place where those who create the program meet those who have come to see it, it is a place for dialogue and joint research. JAMA follows the theme of the interaction of artists from various fields with other people, but especially with the changing world in which we live. It is a time spent together that can - and should - look different every year, because the time-space in which it takes place is also different every year."
- The winners received not only recognition in the form of a diploma in professional activity, but also an original and valuable artefact of the prize designed by Slovak designer Simona Janišová and a subscription to the magazines Flash Art and PROFILE of contemporary visual art.
- The nominated projects were assessed by a professional jury consisting of: Jana Babušiaková, Petra Feriancová Baldovičová, Ondřej Chrobák, Lucia Gavulová, Beáta Jablonská, Lucia Kotvanová and Jana Luková.
- The award has been implemented by the Council of Galleries in Slovakia since 2017 with the financial support of the Slovak Art Council. Media partners of the award are Artalk, magazines Flash Art Czech & Slovak Edition and PROFILE of contemporary fine art www.profilart.sk.
