Proseguono con gli obiettivi e una descrizione delle opera partecipanti: The goal of the Terna Prize is to open new avenues of discourse among culture and commerce, and to provide artists with a platform from which to be recognized by the global arts community. The Prize winners include artists of all ages, some internationally renowned and others relatively still unknown. The works, including nine photographs, three paintings and four mixed media works, were first exhibited at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome’s largest interdisciplinary exhibition venue, in November 2008.
In breve i curatori ed il concept del Premio: In establishing the Prize, Terna worked closely with independent curator and contemporary art critic Gianluca Marziani and contemporary art advisor and curator Francesco Cascino. “The Terna Prize is not only a contest, but a cultural project that encourages dialogue and serves as a catalyst for the transmission of values among generations,” said Terna Prize Curator Gianluca Marziani. “Exhibiting these works in New York enables us to begin to internationalize the Prize and to share with new audiences the many ways in which this award connects artists through their energy and experiences.”
Gli autorevoli pareri di Sam Bardaouil, curatore del CAM e di Juliàn Zugazagoitia, DIrettore del museo del Barrio a NY:"Terna has created a unique platform through which a highly talented generation of contemporary Italian artists can be appreciated on an international scale,” said Sam Bardaouil, Chelsea Art Museum curator. “The quality and diversity is fascinating and we are delighted to play a role in introducing these artists to the New York arts community."
“The first Terna Prize winners reveal a fascinating range of work being produced in Italy today,” said Julián Zugazagoitia, Terna Prize jury member and Director of El Museo del Barrio in New York. “The exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to see these artists in the U.S., many for the first time.”
