Brave New Normal
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.
