Meet the 67 nominees for PIPA Prize 2021

Throughout this week (May 3rd to 7th), we published daily bulletins, revealing the nominees for the 12th edition of PIPA. There are 67 nominated artists, amongst them, 58 participating for the first time, were chosen by this year’s Nominating Committee members.

After being nominated, the artists who want to participate in the 12th edition of the PIPA Prize must confirm the participation through the email premiopipa@premiopipa.com and send the material asked by the PIPA Prize coordination in the scheduled deadline in order to be able to run for PIPA Prize and PIPA Online.

• PIPA Prize – The PIPA Prize Board will choose five artists from the nominees, amongst those who confirm their participation in PIPA Prize 2021. These five Selected Artists will participate in a virtual exhibition with new features on the Prize’s websites and social media, producing new content for the event. The idea is for the Selected Artists to show their artworks, without establishing a competition between the five of them. Each one will receive a donation of R$10,000.

• PIPA Online – It happens in two rounds and each of the two most voted artists receives a donation of R$5.000.

This year the Prize decided to focus on more recent production, so the Nominated Artists must have had their first solo or group exhibition no longer than 10 years ago. The Prize’s goal is to be a boost for artists at the beginning of their career, with a distinguished work.

PROMOTING THE ARTISTS

All nominated artists have a page at PIPA Prize websites (see the Portuguese version: www.premiopipa.com). The participants are invited to send material (photos, videos, and texts) to create their profile pages. Those who have already participated in previous editions may continually contribute with new content for their pages, keeping them updated. Besides the pages in the English and Portuguese sites, all the participants will have the opportunity to record a video interview. The purpose of these interviews is to get to know the artists, their careers and their work processes. This initiative, developed throughout the ten years of PIPA Prize, is forming an ever-growing and diverse database and research tool on contemporary Brazilian art.

The participating artists will also have bilingual pages in PIPA’s Catalogues, distributed for free to Brazilian and foreign professionals. The catalogues can also be downloaded on our website.
