Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.
MEMENTO (2019-)
Adrienn Ujhazi
The chosen theme named Biophilia is based on the relation of all living systems on the planet Earth. Adrienn in her work involves the research of a new natural material named "SCOBY", which is used as an acronym for symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. During her research she comes across on new artistic solutions by transforming the cultivated and natural material of the plant species. They carry important information related to our environment and to the current, complex processes. The series of Biophilia mostly cover and focus on unconventional and new painting materials, thus promoting new aesthetics. Adrienn directs her work towards examining the relationship between man and nature, which also includes the fields of ecological art and bio art in the form of various visual media such as: paintings, drawings, videos, installations, photography. MEMENTO is part of the material research (with SCOBY) as a long durational project which is treated as visual documentation of a new living material.
