Bally Artist of the Year Award 2020
The Bally Foundation is pleased to announce the theme of the Bally Artist of the Year 2020 Award: „Sloganism and sloganisms“
„Sloganism and sloganisms“ opens a reflection on the centrality of communication, particularly in this context of fragility, disintegration and uncertainty, where the icon, with the entrustment of the message to the image, becomes a significant link and indication of humanity’s desires. „Sloganism and sloganisms“ is an invitation to develop languages that connect form and message, an opportunity for the artist to generate, through its artwork, an interaction that catches the eye and stimulates thought. You will find a detailed explanation of the theme in the downloads section.
The Bally Artist of the Year 2020 Award is promoted in collaboration with Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI), through a multi-year agreement signed in 2019 that further strengthens the Foundation’s link with the territory and which will contribute, thanks to the exhibition spaces of Palazzo Reali, to make the work of the Bally Award winner accessible to the wide public.
The competition will remain open until October 30th, 2020 and is accessible to both individuals and groups, either born or currently residing in the Swiss Canton of Ticino, with no age restrictions. To enter, candidates must register here.
