WINNER OF HUGO BOSS PRIZE 2008: EMILY JACIR
HUGO BOSS Prize recognizes achievement in Contemporary Art
Are you an ARTIST? If so, take note!
The HUGO BOSS Prize has established itself as a significant forum for recognizing achievement in contemporary art. The PRIZE is the fruit of long-term cooperation between HUGO BOSS and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The prize was founded in 1996 and awards $100,000 to emerging artists or well established individuals whose public recognition may be long overdue. The criteria is solely based on innovation and creativity and determined by a distinguished panel of judges including museum directors, curators and critics. The 2008 finalists are Christoph Buchel, Patty Chang, Sam Durant, Joachim Koester, Emily Jacir and Roman Signer. Palestinian-American artist, Emily Jacir, took home the prize, awarded for her electic visual take on war, agony and the culture of Palestinians. Her work is dark with a history that runs deep, but it's her subtle way of capturing displacement that makes her so unique.
