Julius Baer and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá - MAMBO announced the jury for the second edition of the Julius Baer Award for Latin American women artists.
This award is the first in Latin America that aims to recognize women artists for their innovative research and influence on contemporary art while offering funds to develop a new and ambitious project in situ. The winning project will be exhibited in the Julius Baer Gallery on the third floor of MAMBO in July 2023.
The jury and committee of the second edition of the Julius Baer Award for Latin American Women Artists is Diana Wechsler, Artistic Director of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of the South (BIENALSUR); Giuliana Vidarte, Director of Curatorship and Exhibitions at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Lima (MAC - Lima); Lucía Sanromán, Director of the Laboratorio de Arte Alameda; Barbara Staubli, Curator of the Julius Baer Group Art Collection; and Eugenio Viola, Chief Curator of MAMBO.
The jury will be in charge of selecting a project among the in-situ proposals presented by the five finalists of this second edition of the Julius Baer Award: Mónica Mayer (Mexico), Ana Gallardo (Argentina), Renata Lucas (Brazil), Sol Calero (Venezuela) and Ximena Garrido-Lecca (Peru). The winner will develop her project with the support and collaboration of Julius Baer and MAMBO.
"With this award, now in its second edition, MAMBO confirms its commitment to promoting female artistic production and consolidating the social space for Latin American female creators. The finalists of this edition, through their committed works, represent the urgency and necessity not only of the Latin American continent but of the contemporary world, reminding us once again that art is always on the side of coexistence amid differences," mentioned Eugenio Viola, Chief Curator of MAMBO.
