The HUGO BOSS Prize 2006
Shortlist Announced
Lisa Dennison, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Dr. Bruno Sälzer, Chairman and CEO of HUGO BOSS, are today announcing the shortlist for the HUGO BOSS Prize 2006. The presentation of the finalists will take place within the scope of a glamorous event in Miami Beach, Florida, coinciding with the Art Basel show.
The HUGO BOSS Prize finalists for 2006 include:
--Jennifer Allora (US) & Guillermo Calzadilla (Puerto Rico) - installation, sculpture, photo, video
--John Bock (Germany) - performance, installation, film
--Tacita Dean (UK) - film, video, drawing
--Damián Ortega (Mexico) - sculpture, installation
--Aïda Ruilova (US) - video
--Tino Sehgal (Germany) - situations
"Since its inception, the HUGO BOSS Prize has become one of the premiere juried prizes of the contemporary art world," said Lisa Dennison. "Perhaps its greatest reward has been to provide the Guggenheim with the opportunity to identify, exhibit, collect, and honor the work of extraordinarily talented artists who are actively redefining cultural and intellectual boundaries around the world."
"We are delighted that the HUGO BOSS PRIZE is now celebrating its tenth anniversary," said Bruno Sälzer. "This demonstrates how firmly the award has become anchored in the contemporary art world and also underscores our continuing commitment to the arts."
The biennial prize - carrying a stipend of U.S. $50,000 - is administered by the Guggenheim Foundation and is juried by a distinguished international panel of museum directors, curators and critics.
The award is conferred upon artists whose work represents a significant development in contemporary art, and sets no restrictions in terms of age, gender, race, nationality, or media. The nominations include young, emerging artists as well as established individuals whose public recognition may be long overdue.
The jurors of the HUGO BOSS Prize 2006 are:
--Jennifer Blessing, Project Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
--Lisa Dennison, Director, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
--Silvia Karman Cubiñá, Director, The Moore Space
--Massimiliano Gioni, TK; Vicente Todoli, Director, Tate Modern
--Maria-Christina Villaseñor, Associate Curator for Film and Media Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
The year 2006 marks the sixth presentation of the HUGO BOSS Prize. Since 1996, the award has gone to the following artists: Matthew Barney (U.S.A.), Douglas Gordon (Scottland), Marjetica Potrč (Slovenia), Pierre Huyghe (France), and Rirkrit Tiravanija (Thailand).
The HUGO BOSS Prize 2006 section on http://www.hugoboss-prize.com/ will again be designed as an artistic forum.
