Meet the 66 nominees of PIPA Prize 2022

Throughout this week, we published daily bulletins, revealing the nominees of the 13th edition of PIPA Prize. There are 66 artists – amongst which 52 were nominated for the first time – chosen by this year’s Nominating Committee members.

After being nominated, the artists who wishes to take part in the 13th edition of the Prize must confirm their participation through the email premiopipa@premiopipa.com and send the material requested by the PIPA Prize coordination by the scheduled deadline in order to be able to run for PIPA Prize and PIPA Online.

• PIPA Prize – The PIPA Prize Board will choose four artists from the nominees, among those who confirm their participation in PIPA Prize 2022. These four Awarded Artists will participate in an exhibition at Paço Imperial, in Rio de Janeiro, between September and October this year, and in a virtual exhibition on the Prize’s websites and social media, producing new content for the event. Each one will receive a donation of R$20,000.

• PIPA Online – It happens in two rounds and each of the two most voted artists receives a donation of R$5,000. This year’s edition is scheduled to happen between July and August.

This year the Prize decided to focus on a more recent production, nominating artists who must have had their first solo or group exhibition no longer than 15 years ago. The Prize’s goal is to be a boost for artists at the beginning of their career who develop distinguished works.

PROMOTING THE ARTISTS

All nominated artists have a page on PIPA Prize’s websites (check out the Portuguese version: www.premiopipa.com). New participants are invited to send material (photos, videos and texts) for the creation of their pages, and those artists who have already participated in previous editions may continually contribute with new content for their pages, keeping it updated. Besides this space on the English and Portuguese websites, all participants 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, held throughout over ten years of PIPA Prize, is building an ever-growing and diverse database and research tool on Brazilian contemporary art.

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