An international jury has selected five visual artists under the age of 35 for the 32nd annual Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2021. They are Robert Gabris, Jakub Jansa, Valentýna Janů, Anna Ročňová, and the artistic non-collective björnsonova. The five artists decided to continue the development initiated by last year's artists and not to compete for the title of laureate, which was thus awarded to all of them.
How exactly does the selection and evaluation of artists take place in the context of art awards and, where applicable, evaluation and recognition at art colleges, exhibitions, and other projects? How relevant or "objective" is this selection and evaluation? These are long-discussed questions that have been raised even more intensely in recent years, when the climate surrounding traditional models of awarding art prizes has been changing dynamically in Czechia and abroad, and questions of the forms and ethics of cooperation, care, support, sustainability, etc. are being discussed more and more frequently.
