Descripción del Premio

The Sculpture Prize is one of Sweden’s major artist awards The Friends of Moderna Museet Sculpture Prize – the K. A. Lind Honorary Award is one of Sweden’s major artist prizes and has been presented biannually since 1950. The Award was founded by the textile artist Sigrid Lind in memory of her parents. Members of the Friends of Moderna Museet nominate practising artists, and a jury selects one of the nominees, awarding the winner the sum of SEK 300,000, an exhibition at Moderna Museet and a specially-produced publication. Previous Sculpture Prize winners include Elis Eriksson, Lars Englund, Ulf Rollof, Ann-Soﬁ Sidén and Johanna Gustafsson Fürst. The Sculpture Prize Jury, 2019 The 2019 jury consisted of Lena Josefsson, chairperson of the Friends of Moderna Museet, Ebba Matz, artist, Marti Manen, curator and director of Index Foundation, Nils Forsberg, journalist, and Fredrik Liew, curator at Moderna Museet. The Jury’s statement “Runo Lagomarsino is an artist whose works offer a multifaceted picture of what working with sculpture can include. With careful attention to the material, but without ever ignoring its conceptual aspect, Lagomarsino shapes his narrative, acutely aware of the significance of political positionings. He oscillates between temporalities and identities and perceives art as a unit of time and space in a historic context. A sentence written on a baggage carousel, sand poured out in front of a Greek sculpture at a museum, material confronted with a colonial past. In his practice, Lagomarsino incorporates power and geography, mythology and national identity, objects and memories, invisible situations and opportunities for diverse dialogue.”
