EESTI KAASAEGSE KUNSTI MUUSEUM ASUTAB UUE KUNSTIAUHINNA

Eesti Kaasaegse Kunsti Muuseumil on hea meel teatada uue kunstiauhinna loomisest. Auhinna nimeks saab Köler Prize ning seda hakatakse esialgsete plaanide kohaselt välja andma igal aastal. Auhinnale nomineeritakse muuseumi poolt viis Eestis alaliselt resideerivat või Eesti kodakondset kunstnikku viimase kolme aasta loominguliste saavutuste põhiselt. Nominentide seast valib rahvusvaheline žürii välja laureaadi, keda premeeritakse 5000 euroga. Laureaadi valimine toimub 01.05-05.06. 2011 EKKMis (Põhja pst. 35) toimuva näituse põhiselt.
Meil on rõõm teatada, et 2011. aasta auhinnaraha paneb välja eesti kapitalil põhinev logistikafirma Smarten Logistics. Nominentide näitusel saab ka publik valida oma lemmiku ja selle preemia, mille suuruseks on 1000 eurot, paneb välja ambitsioonikate plaanidega uus galerii Temnikova & Kasela.

Köler Prize 2011 nominendid on:
Dénes Kalev Farkas, Tõnis Saadoja, Timo Toots , Sigrid Viir ja Jevgeni Zolotko.

Näitusel eksponeerivad kunstnikud kahte tööd või tööde seeriat, millest esimene on varasem, juba eelnevalt avalikult eksponeeritud ning teine uus, spetsiaalselt selle näituse jaoks valmistatud teos. Nominentide näitus avab ühtlasi ka EKKMi järgmise, Euroopa kultuuripealinna aasta näitustehooaja. Preemia üleandmine leiab aset 28. mail toimuval gaalal.

“Object no 2011″ was inspired by two dreams: firstly, to bring into focus of attention not art but its creator – as a human, a person – during one event of the European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011. Secondly, by the seemingly utopian aim to gather in one space (be it physical, temporal or spiritual) the largest possible amount of our most important creative people. We could say: the aim is to take a deep bow to those, thanks to whom we have the honest right to wear the title of the European Capital of Culture.

The shape of the installation that shines on the Freedom Square is the result of many discussions and conversations. It has been greatly contributed to by many of those, who between February 27th and March 20th will give life to the installation by spending an hour in it. Thank you! It is important that regarding the two dreams no compromises have been made.

Object no 2011 is part of the programme of European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011.

The creators of “Object no 2011″ are Mart Koldits, Kaarel Oja, Iir Hermeliin, Indrek Tiigi, Kadri Tamre, Kadri Tikerpuu and Sirli Bergström.
