About the Exhibitions
This first annual award and exhibition will showcase three
emerging artists nominated by a jury of international art
professionals. Based on practices that engage new ways of
working within the mediums of painting, sculpture, drawing,
printmaking, photography, ceramics, metals, glass and/or fibers,
Temple Gallery's exhibition will feature examples of the finalists'
work. The selected artists are: Sanford Biggers of New York;
Michael Rakowitz of Chicago and New York; and Ryan Trecartin
of Philadelphia. One of these three finalists will be selected
to win the prize of $150,000.
