national prize for young artists in 2013 Zhanna Kadyrova will also be
included into the shortlist of the Future Generation Art Prize 2014,
bringing the maximum number of artists in the exhibition to 21.
Jury consisting of prominent curators,
directors of museums, artists and experts will be publically announced
along with names of 20 artists shortlisted for the Future Generation Art
Prize in June 2014.
From its launch the Future Generation
Art Prize and its idea to develop a network of young artists worldwide
has been supported by its Patron Artists including Damien Hirst, Jeff
Koons, Andreas Gursky and Takashi Murakami. Besides providing advice and
support for the winning artist, Patron Artists also present a solo show
in the PinchukArtCentre parallel to the exhibition of shortlisted
artists for the Prize. In 2010 and 2012 there were solo shows by Takashi
Murakami and Damien Hirst.
