JULIEN CREUZET, KELVIN KYUNG KUN PARK AND ALICE WANG NOMINATED

During this year’s Art Basel in Hong Kong, the BMW Art Journey is continued with the announcement of the next shortlist. In recognition of the ongoing exceptional circumstances caused by the pandemic, the international expert jury conducted its selection process online. Artists and their galleries were invited to submit digital applications, including a short video by the artists explaining their work and process. Since 2020, the circle of eligible artists has broadened and includes not only emerging and mid-career artists from the Discoveries sector, but also artists represented by galleries founded no more than ten years ago. The shortlisted artists are now invited to develop the proposal for their ideal journey, with the winner to be announced in late June 2021.

ABOUT the BMW Art Journey

Launched in 2015, the BMW Art Journey is a collaboration between Art Basel and BMW, created to recognize and support emerging artists worldwide. This initiative can take an artist almost anywhere in the world – to research, to network, to envision and to create new work. Since 2020, the circle of eligible artists has been broadened. It includes emerging and mid-career artists originally participating at Art Basel in Hong Kong represented not only by galleries in the Discoveries sector, but also by galleries that were founded no more than ten years ago. A judging panel comprised of internationally renowned experts meets first to select a shortlist of three artists from the sector, who are then invited to submit proposals for a journey aimed to further develop their ideas and artistic work. The jury reconvenes to choose a winner from the three proposals.
