ANEKS 2022/2023 Competition Results

CSR

The aim of the competition organized by the Contemporary Art Gallery in Opole is to showcase the latest and most valuable projects in the field of visual arts, authored by individuals associated with the Opole region. Cementownia Odra is honored to have been the main sponsor of the competition for years.

The jury (the GSW program team) selected two artistic projects that will be implemented in the first half of 2023.

The PINGUINS group (Nati Krawtz & Barbara Szymczak) for their original proposal of a performative attempt to visualize questions that arise in the face of (now!) climate changes, and Tomasz Chmielewski for a concept that fits into the window character of the exhibition space, which develops the artist's existing practice.

Moreover, the jury decided to distinguish (without implementing the projects): Elżbieta Gądek for a strong message contained in a delicately conducted action — moving from individual experience towards a universal truth, necessary for survival in the current time, and Marina Lykho for the idea of transforming the gallery into a space that brings solace to people sharing the experience of finding themselves in a new place to live.

We warmly congratulate the awarded and distinguished individuals, and at the same time, we thank all the artists and collectives who applied for the competition.
