This year’s finalists for the Jindřich Chalupecký Award include Vojtěch Fröhlich, Lukáš Karbus, Barbora Kleinhamplová, Pavla Sceranková and Pavel Sterec.
Now in its 26th edition, the award commemorates the work of critic and philosopher Jindřich Chalupecký, who initiated unofficial, avant-garde art activities in former Czechoslovakia. Dedicated to young visual artists, the award is attributed every year to artists under 35 born or living in Czech Republic.
The winner will receive 100 000 CZK (approx. £2,600) to realise an exhibition and publish a catalog in the following year, during which he will spend a six-week scholarship in New York. In the course of the year, the work of the five finalists will be presented at related events held in several cities in the Czech Republic, which will culminate in the exhibition Final 2015 (25 September – 3 January 2016) at the Pražák Palace of the Moravian Gallery in Brno.
