AWARDING OF THE PRIZES FOR THE BEST WORK SEEN IN 2014
At the end of year, for the last seven years, an award is given, in the form of a Pot, to the people and/or their works whom the Members of Etablissement deem meritorious. In determining the artists and/or works most deserving of a Pot, we allow ourselves to be guided by our deeply felt beliefs in order to make these decisions true. We believe this process of selection is surely the most straightforward that can be imagined nowadays. Hence we avoid a democratic selection process, which might have otherwise compromised the event. The Pots go to works that different members of Etablissement have become newly acquainted with during the year of 2014. This year the Pots are specially manufactured by Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel, as well as a limited edition to accompany the event. These individual hand made clay Pots will be personally awarded to each of the eight recipients of the 2014 awards.
On this day of January 10th in the year 2015, the Pots of Etablissement are hereby awarded to the following artists and/or works:
BAHMAN KIAROSTAMI, ‘STATUES OF TEHRAN’, 2008, Film, 60’
