WINNER OF THE DISCOVERY PRIZE 2022
/

The DISCOVERY Prize jury this year included: Katerina Gregos, Artistic Director, National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST), Athens, Greece; Antony Hudek, Director, Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens (MDD), Deurle, Belgium and Martha Kirszenbaum, Independent Curator and Writer. Their unanimous decision was to award the prize to House of Chappaz and JOEY RAMONE for their shared booth presentation of F.A.T.A.L by the duo Momu & No Es. The jury was impressed by the expanded spatial installation comprising sculpture, digital prints and sound, framed within cultural theorist Donna Haraway's concept of tentacular space. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the project questions the relationship of bodies to their habitats, but also indirectly comments on change and the difficulty of moving into the future from a challenging present. Finally, the jury found that the project deals with timely questions regarding rethinking ideas of community and social relationality.

The DISCOVERY prize is supported by Moleskine.
