Nominations of artists are now invited for Artes Mundi 5, the international exhibition and prize held in 2012 at the National Museum of Art in Cardiff. Nominations close on 26 June 2011.

One artist will receive the 40,000 GBP prize and the other five shortlisted artists will receive a new award of 4,000 GBP each. In addition to being one of the largest prizes in the visual arts, Artes Mundi has established a new longterm partnership with Mostyn in North Wales to develop a solo exhibition with one of the shortlisted artists in the year after the prize.

Artists can be nominated through the Artes Mundi website. The open call for nominations begins an international research process that enables Artes Mundi to recognise and support contemporary visual artists who:
– engage with social reality, lived experience and the human condition
– are established in their country or region and emerging internationally

Working with two highly respected international curators to review the nominations and select the shortlist of six artists, the resulting exhibition explores thematics proposed by the artworks.

The Artes Mundi 5 shortlist will be announced in September 2011. The exhibition will open in September 2012, running concurrently with other headline events in the UK’s visual arts calendar such as the Turner Prize, Frieze Art Fair and Liverpool Biennial. The prize will be awarded in November 2012.

Last year the Artes Mundi 4 Prize was awarded to Israeli artist Yael Bartana who will represent Poland at this year’s Venice Biennale. The first Artes Mundi Prize was awarded in 2004 to Xu Bing, a Chinese born artist based in New York. In 2006, Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila received the Artes Mundi 2 Prize, and the recipient of the Artes Mundi 3 Prize in 2008 was N S Harsha from India.

Artes Mundi stimulates cultural dialogue and exchange, playing a vital role in broadening the cultural experience of audiences in Wales and beyond by building networks between the local and global, demonstrating the capacity of the visual arts to negotiate and communicate across the boundaries of language, geography and history. Through this interplay,we gain understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the relations between familiar and distant cultures.

Nominations can be made at www.artesmundi.org and close on 26 June 2011

About the Fall 2011 / Spring 2012 Artist Residency Program
The Watermill Center Residency Program began in 2006, and in five seasons has hosted 72 artist residencies. The Residency Program runs from September to June and gives young artists the opportunity to live and work at The Watermill Center as a home to create and develop new work. Each residency varies in length according to artists’ and project needs, and generally lasts from one to four weeks. A distinguished international selection committee composed of interdisciplinary artists, academics, and cultural leaders (see below) meets in July each year to select the artist groups that will be invited to the residency program.

In addition to creating and developing their own work, artists share their creative process at Watermill with the public through open rehearsals, workshops, and/or artist talks. Through partnership initiatives, some residencies go on to showcase their work in NYC and abroad.

Watermill draws inspiration from all the arts and cultures as well as from social, human and natural sciences. Watermill is a global community of artists.

The Watermill Collection of over 7,000 art and artifact pieces spanning the history of humankind is integrated into all aspects of the building and grounds as a reminder that the history of each civilization is told by its artists.
