Join Celeste Prize by 16 August 2013. It’s your opportunity to have your work picked by our team of international curators and be part of a talent scouting environment. Artists from around the world can submit their work, regardless of age, profession or gender.

This year’s team of selectors is led by Ami Barak, curator of Celeste Prize 2013, 5th edition. He is accompanied by a Selection Panel of art critics and curators which include:

Ferran Barenblit – Director Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid, Spain

Iara Boubnova – Curator at ICA, Sofia, Bulgaria

Katrina Brown – Director of The Common Guild, Glasgow, UK

Florence Derieux – Director of Frac, Champagne-Ardenne, France

Dominique Fontaine – Independent curator, Montreal, Canada

Christian Fuller – Curator at Recession Art, New York, USA

Mihnea Mircan – Artistic Director of Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp, Belgium

Gean Moreno – Independent curator, Miami, USA

Ian Alden Russell – Curator at David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University, USA

Alia Swastika – Independent curator, Jakarta, Indonesia

Gaëtane Verna – Director of The Power Plant, Toronto, Canada

The exhibition of the 40 finalist works will be held in November 2013 in Rome, Italy, at the ex-GIL spaces. During the final exhibition each finalist artist will vote his or her preferred work in each category and so determine the prize-winners.
