Talent Prize 2008-2017. Inauguration of the tenth anniversary exhibition at MACRO.

On December 12 at 6 p.m., at the MACRO in Via Nizza, opens the exhibition of the tenth edition of the Talent Prize, the annual Inside Art prize dedicated to young artists. This year, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the prize, not only will the works of the winner, the finalists and the special prizes of 2017 be on display, but also the works of the winners who have marked the history of the competition from 2008 to the present will be presented to the public.
The jury, composed of the historic members of the prize and new directors and curators of the most important contemporary art institutions, has nominated Davide Monaldi, former RUFA student, as the winner with his work Wallpaper. A tromp l’oeil through which the artist gives three-dimensionality to a two-dimensional element, exploring the potential of a material belonging to tradition. The artist’s research revolves around the sculptural transposition of everyday objects, investigating with irony the use of ceramics in contemporary art.
