i think it’s rlly damaging to think that institutions and pedagogy are like... necessary or inherent to the art world. art has existed in time without those things, and i think it’s important to imagine a future without them. institutions and pedagogy have in fact done so much to hurt artists under the guise of building the industry. This isn’t to say that things like museums or schools don’t have value or anything like that, but i think it’s really harmful to dismiss the damage they have done to the way we view and treat art. These institutions are the ones that choose what is successful, and rather than oppose the status quo, they uphold it. which is to say they will often, if not always, have an outlook that has elitist, classist, and racist values. take MoMA for instance, an institution that has amassed wealth through its ties to colonial and imperial violence. Leon Black, who was the chairman (and has decided to step down since) had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, who sits on the board of MoMa, is married to Gustavo Cisneros, who has ties Barrick Gold’s mining in the DR, which is leaving entire communities without clean water. Or let’s talk about the racism and anti-blackness that exist within institutions like museums and schools. I don’t know if anyone knows this, but at the height of the BLM movement earlier last year, a bunch of instagram accounts popped up highlighting anonymous stories from Black students and their experiences with institutionalized racism. (you can check out @/blackatsva or @/blackatrisd, both of which are accounts linked to two of the biggest art schools in america) There is no way you can look at these things and say that these institutions don’t participate in a system of abuse and violence. These are the people putting up your art exhibitions, curating your shows, deciding what makes the cut, and what doesn’t. They’re the ones choosing those spot illustrations for The New Yorker, New York Times, whatever. And all this shit starts in the classroom.
Art can exist outside of the frame of institutions and i think it’s especially important to resist by imagining a future without these structures.

El Premio Eugenio Mendoza 2019
Las obras y proyectos seleccionados por los curadores reflejan, contienen y traducen las preocupaciones discursivas y narrativas de sus creadores, y en esta ocasión la reflexión apunta a los inconvenientes que atraviesa la Venezuela actual: la migración, la diáspora, la movilidad y sus consecuencias ontológicas, políticas e históricas; el vacío de información; el deterioro y la ruina; el hambre y la necesidad; el sometimiento y sus implicaciones físicas, corporales y psicológicas; la indolencia oficial frente a la violencia —temas que ocupan a nuestros creadores más nóveles y que se encontrarán en los espacios de la
Fundación Sala Mendoza.
https://www.fundacionsalamendoza.com/premio
Para esta edición, el Premio se ha regido, una vez más, bajo la modalidad de convocatoria abierta, permitiendo participar a artistas venezolanos, residentes o no en el país, y a extranjeros residentes menores de 40 años. Se recibieron casi cien postulaciones de proyectos que fueron evaluados por seis curadores, venezolanos y extranjeros. Cada uno de ellos seleccionó a dos finalistas, justificando su elección a través de un texto curatorial:
David Ayala-Alfonso,artista, curador e investigador colombiano residenciado entre Bogotá y Londres, se decantó por la propuesta de Emily Jolie y Néstor García;Jesús Alcaide,crítico de arte y comisario independiente español residenciado en España, por Alejandro Miguel Torrealba y Cristian Guardia; María Carlota Pérez-Appelbaum, curadora y asesora de arte venezolana residenciada en Nueva York, por Manuel Eduardo González y Valentina Alvarado Matos; Patricia Hambrona,curadora independiente española residenciada en Canadá, por Dianora Pérez y Rafael Arteaga; Rigel García, investigadora-curadora venezolana del Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas, por María Niño y MAx Provenzano; Yuri Liscano, creador visual e investigador venezolano, Gerente General de la Sala TAC, por Malu Valerio y Saúl Rivas.
El jurado de premiación, lo conforman Álvaro Sotillo, diseñador gráfico venezolano; Dulce Gómez, artista plástico venezolana; Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães, curadora del Museo y Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim en Nueva York, y Rafael Romero, Director Emérito de la Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros. Este prestigioso grupo será el encargado de determinar cuál de los artistas finalistas resultará ganador del Premio, quien disfrutará de una residencia artística de tres meses en Lugar a dudas, centro de arte contemporáneo ubicado en Cali, Colombia, y una exposición individual en la Sala Principal de la Sala Mendoza en el año 2020.
Además del ganador de esta edición #15, este año contamos con distintas menciones especiales gracias al apoyo de nuestros patrocinantes y amigos:
La Embajada de España en Venezuela ofrece la mención Artista Emergente de la Embajada de España, galardón otorgado a Dianora Pérez que contempla una residencia de tres semanas en PACA, un artist-run space ubicado en Gijón, España,además de una muestra de proyecto en la Sala Mendoza el próximo año.
