Triennial of Contemporary Print Art 2024
The MBAL Emerging Talent Award is intended to support emerging artists by rewarding a student or recent graduate from a Swiss art school. The competition, organised as part of the 2024 Triennial, is designed to encourage the emergence of new practices in the printed arts, and rewards the excellence and originality of the project submitted by the emerging artist. All printing techniques – from traditional engraving processes to the latest digital technologies – are welcome.
The prize comprises a sum of CHF 1’000, the production of an exhibition in 2026, whose production will be covered by The MBAL, and one of the works exhibited will become part of the museum’s collection.
The winning project is selected by a jury of specialists, composed of the MBAL team, the artist Michael Günzburger and a third member who will be revealed in 2025.
You can find the work of Bienvenue Studios, winners of the MBAL Emerging Talent Award in 2021 with the project Into Mountains, Wear your Mirror.
