This is a biennial prize - held in 2012.

Artes Mundi was established in 2003 as a biennial contemporary visual arts initiative. It is international in scope, celebrating and recognising artists from across the world. Artes Mundi aims to:
  • support and celebrate some of the world’s most exciting artists
  • encourage and enable audiences to develop greater understanding and enjoyment of contemporary art
  • demonstrate the capacity of the visual arts to communicate across linguistic and geographic boundaries
  • encourage debate and exchange of ideas between Wales and the world for the benefit of artists and the wider cultural sector
  • provide an opportunity for wider discussion of the role of artists in society.
Artes Mundi is a research process that begins with an open call to nominate artists from anywhere in the world, leading to a biennial exhibition and prize selected from the nominations, concluding with commissions that arise from that process. The exhibition brings together a group of artists whose work stimulates debate about social and political themes.
