The Social Art Award 2017

Can art change the world?

Under this question, the Institute for Art and Innovation e.V. had launched the first Social Art Award in 2017. Artists and cultural actors of all areas were invited to apply with their work to the field of social art. Artists from 131 countries responded with extraordinary works and projects.

On September 5, 2017, the three winners Lino Tonelotto from France, Quek Jia Qi from Singapore and Diogo da Cruz from Portugal were honored, and exhibited at WHITECONCEPTS Gallery in Berlin. They demonstrated with their politically engaged works that art can make current events visible and tangible. This is an important understanding for bringing forward the debate and thus a social change.

Author:

Description:
The description of the submitted artwork/ project should not extend 500 characters. The description should give a vital introduction to the artwork/ project and the impact generated: This art work is a circle of pure gold in Antarctica. My intention is to promote the Antarctic values based on global governance, peace, science and environmental protection. Consciousness is depicted as a gold circle, a symbol of the human vertical axis between the Earth and the infinite space (macrocosmos) and a door to its infinite deep self (microcosmos). The impact of this art work reveals the uniqueness of this region and its ability to serve as a model for other regions of the World.
