Gazell.io and The Lumen Prize for Art and Technology are proud to announce their second collaborative partnership as part of the Lumen Prize’s inaugural NFT Award, sponsored by Right Click Save.
The shortlist has been recently announced, and the winner of the award will be revealed in October. Lumen’s jury panel includes Christine Paul (Adjunct Curator, Digital Art, Whitney Museum), Melanie Lenz (Digital Curator, V&A Museum), and Nathan Ladd (Assistant Curator, Tate Britain), amongst others.
A group exhibition of five shortlisted applicants selected for the NFT Award category will be featured in a one-week exhibition at Gazell.io Project Space from the 13th of October, leading up to the final Lumen Prize award ceremony on the 19th of October. From the 20th of October, the winner of the NFT Award will be featured exclusively in the Project Space for a solo exhibition until the 19th of November. The preview and celebration for the winner’s solo exhibition will be held on the 25th of October, accompanied by a talk at Gazelli Art House.
A statement from Carla Rapoport, Lumen’s Founder and Executive Director: “Since founding the prize in 2012, I’ve learned that creativity and technology are natural partners and that artists who engage with technology bring an energy to their practice that simply can’t be found anywhere else. I’m so excited to add artists working in the NFT ecosystem to our community and can’t wait to see the finalists exhibited in Gazell.io’s Project Space.”
A statement from Mila Askarova, Gazelli Art House and Gazell.io’s Founder: “The Lumen Prize has always been at the forefront of championing great digital art. Over the years, Lumen’s awards and range of activities have reflected the absolute zeitgeist in the field. Now, with the NFT Award, The Lumen Prize continues to move forward and reflect the exciting development in the ever-changing landscape of digital art. We are pleased to be exhibiting the finalists this year at Gazell.io, as well as a programme of talks to accompany the exhibition.”
