Frieze
announced the call for entries to the Emdash Award 2013. The
Emdash Award returns to Frieze London for the third consecutive year in
2013 as part of the acclaimed Frieze Projects programme. The award is
open to artists living outside of the UK, up to five years from
graduating from an
undergraduate or postgraduate degree or under 35 years of age. Frieze
Projects is a programme of site-specific commisions shown at Frieze
London each year. Produced by Frieze Foundation, The Emdash Award is
supported by the Emdash Foundation and presented in collaboration with
Gasworks.
The
recipient of the award will have the unique opportunity to present
their work at Frieze London 2013. Additionally, the prize will cover
production costs of up to £10,000, an artist’s fee, per diems, travel
expenses and a studio residency at Gasworks in London from August to
October 2013.
Andrea
Dibelius of the Emdash Foundation said of the award: ‘I am very much
looking forward to the award in its third year. Previous winners have
produced thought-provoking projects that demonstrate serious talent.
Frieze London provides the perfect platform for the Emdash Foundation’s
aim to nurture creativity at an international level.’
Entrance
to the award is by open submission and the winner will be selected by
an international panel of artists and curators. The closing date for
applications is 16 January 2013. The winner of the award will be
announced in May 2013.
Proposals
for work can take the form of site-specific installations; performance;
film; video or print work. Applicants will be judged on the innovative
nature of their proposal and its suitability for realisation at Frieze
London.
The Emdash Award winner in 2012 was Cécile B Evans, whose work This Is Your Audio Guide
was launched at Frieze London 2013 with significant critical
recognition. For more information on her project and to listen to the
