JOÃO ANGELINI IS ONE OF THREE ARTISTS AWARDED IN THE 4TH EDITION OF TRANSBORDA BRASÍLIA - CONTEMPORARY ART AWARD.
During the month of July 2023, CAIXA Cultural Brasília presents the exhibition of the artists selected for the 4th edition of Transborda Brasília – Contemporary Art Award, with 15 visual artists from the Federal District and the surrounding area.
Virgínia Manfrinato, organizer and director of the award, highlights the importance of Transborda for mapping contemporary artistic production in the Federal District. The organization of the award registered 343 valid entries and received more than a thousand works for evaluation by the selection panel, made up of Brazilian curators from five different regions. The jury included Agnaldo Farias (SP), André Severo (RS), Marília Panitz (DF), Marisa Mokarzel (PA) and Gleyce Heitor (PE). “For the first time since the first edition, in 2015, we were able to reach visual artists in 35 different regions of the Federal District and the DF Integration and Development Region. This allowed us to carry out a more complete survey compared to the last edition, in 2018, when we reached around 190 registrants,” she says.
“In the exhibition of artists selected for this edition of Transborda Brasília, we see artistic production from the Federal District and the surrounding cities that is diverse, multiple and plural”, states Virgínia Manfrinato. “It is a powerful production that presents the many social, cultural, political and economic layers that cross not only the artists from DF and Entorno, but from the Central-West”, continues Manfrinato. The exhibition presents visual artists from different generations and at different points in their careers, including beginners and veterans, who work with different languages, supports and techniques. “The public will marvel at the works presented and will be able to participate in the programming parallel to the exhibition, carried out by the educational department coordinated by art educator Matias Monteiro”.
The selected artists will receive critical monitoring with one of the members of the judging panel and acquisition prizes for one of the selected works, with 12 work acquisition prizes worth R$5,000 each; and three work acquisition prizes worth R$10,000 each.
