The selection for the 62nd edition of the Faenza Prize, International Competition of Contemporary Art Ceramics, has been concluded. The Jury composed of MIC Faenza director Claudia Casali, Judith Schwartz, professor emeritus of NY University, Ranti Tjan, director of the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts, Tomohiro Daicho, senior curator of MOMAK in Kyoto, Irene Biolchini, guest curator of MIC Faenza selected 70 works from 1101 submissions by 723 artists (or groups), amounting to 570 in the over-35 category and 153 in the under-35 category. 60 nations participated.

“It was a very challenging work,” commented Director Casali, “which involved the Jury in several stages of comparison. We evaluated the works in relation to the contemporary nature of the proposal, to a current vision of sculpture and ceramic installation through 70 international proposals. It will be a really interesting exhibition from many points of view, poetic, technical, artistic.”
