63rd Faenza Prize Biennial of Contemporary Ceramics Opens at MIC Faenza
The MIC Faenza has kicked off the 63rd Premio Faenza – Biennale Internazionale della ceramica d’arte contemporanea, running until November 30, 2025. Originally a national event in 1938, it evolved into an international competition in 1963 and became biennial in 1989. This year, over a hundred artists from around the world are featured, selected by an international jury that includes Claudia Casali, Hyeyoung Cho, Valentins Petjko, and Marco Maria Polloniato. Awards were given to Hanna Miadzvedzeva for 'November' in the over 35 category and Léa Renard for her installation 'Subtle conversations of states of mind' in the under 35 category. Casali noted a significant shift in how ceramics are viewed as contemporary art in the past 25 years.
