Central Bank National Painting Prize, organized by that Argentinean institution, has recently launched the call for its sixth edition, which includes three categories: younger than 35 years old, older than 35, and the Great Tribute Prize for acclaimed artists.
Argentinean or foreign artists, a minimum of 2 years residence, can present their folders through October 26, if it is via mail, or they can deliver the works, October 22 – 26, at the venue of the Central Bank (San Martin 216, Autonomous city of Buenos Aires, C1004AAF), 10 – 15 hrs. The folders must contain three images of works created from 2010 to date (originals, unpublished and un-awarded), registration form and author’s curriculum.
A selection of the participating works is going to be showcased at a museum or cultural institution. On the opening day of the 6th Central Bank National Painting Award 2012, the jury –made up of Eduardo Medici, Oscar Smoje, Maria Laura Rosa, Fabian Lebenglik and Fabiana Barreda– and authorities from the Central Bank are going to deliver the Prizes and Mentions per category. This exhibition, curated by Alberto Giudici, will be displayed in other institutions later on.
As for the Tribute Prize, the Jury made up of Jorge Torres Pint, Leon Ferrari and Oscar Smoljan is going to make the list of candidates and chose the artist to be awarded. An Acquisition Prize of 85.000 Argentinean pesos is delivered in this case.
