Artist Award Roundup: Instituto de Visión’s Tania Candiani Presentation Wins Frieze’s Frame Stand Prize, New $100,000 Prize for Craft Arts, and More

With the 2022 edition of Frieze New York in full swing this week, the fair has announced the winner of its Frame Stand Prize, which goes to a gallery and artist participating in the “Frame” section, located on the back half of the fourth floor of the Shed in Hudson Yards. For the section, galleries in business for 10 years or fewer create single-artist presentations in their booth; this year’s iteration was advised by gallerists Olivia Barrett (Chatêau Shatto, Los Angeles) and Sophie Mörner (Company Gallery, New York), both of whose galleries participated in the section.

Chosen from 11 galleries, the winner is Tania Candiani at Instituto de Visión of Bogotá and New York, which was also included in ARTnews’s “Best Booths” article. (The gallery also won the 2021 Frame Stand Prize for a presentation of Wilson Díaz.) For her presentation, Candiani presented a stunning sculptural installation of vibrantly hued glass sculptures resembling a gramophone that emit a composition drawn from recordings as each sculpture was blown.

The winner was selected by a jury comprising three curators: Danielle Jackson at Artists Space, Nora Lawrence at Storm King Arts Center, and Allison Glenn, who recently joined Public Art Fund.

In a statement, Instituto de Visión’s artistic director Beatriz López said, “This project speaks to transformation and the potential for change, for example, the sound piece represents the moment when fire, air, and minerals together create glass; whereas the paintings reference the moments when reality is transformed by women-driven demonstrations. The works are at once poetic and political.”

The San Francisco–based Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation has established a new Awards in Craft program to recognize “individual craftspeople and artists for their work that honors and expands their roles as stewards of cultural traditions, innovators, and integrators,” according to a release.

The inaugural five winners are Antonius-Tín Bui, Christine Lee, Jamie Okuma, Kristina Madsen, and Terrol Dew Johnson.

In a statement, Christa Blatchford, the foundation’s executive director, said, “Now, perhaps more than ever as we continue to emerge from this pandemic moment, we are seeing an incredible desire to create, to experience art, and to connect with each other. Despite this, artists are continuing to face considerable barriers to sustaining their careers. The residency program is a critical part of the Foundation’s work to support artists, and we are actively engaging with our communities to understand how we can further shape the program to best provide artists with the time, space, and financial resources necessary to pursue their practices into the future.”

Calls for Applications

The New York–based, public art–focused arts organization Creative Time is currently accepting applications for the third iteration of its biannual Open Call program. For the first time, applicants residing anywhere in the United States (including the sovereign tribal nations within U.S, borders and U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in addition to all 50 states) can apply to create a project that will be realized in 2023 within the five boroughs of New York City. Selected artists will receive a $10,000 artist fee that is separate from the project’s budget, which will be administered by Creative Time.

“This year’s application process has been simplified, with the labor of submitting detailed budgets and considering feasibility removed. The truth is, that’s our job,” Creative Time’s website reads. Applications close on May 22 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, with finalists notified in early June. This year’s selection committee includes artists Duke Riley and Kendal Henry, who is also the assistant commissioner of public art at the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, as well as composer Kamala Sankaram, who received a 2021 Open Call commission, and art adviser and curator Nico Wheadon.

Additionally, the 10 selected finalists will show case work in a group exhibition that will open next year at the Muskegon Museum of Art in Michigan. Artists who have received a grant for more than $25,000 or sold an artwork for more than $25,000 are not eligible. (Further details for eligibility can be found on the prize’s website.) The application closes on October 7.
