Arnaldo Pomodoro Prize Finalists Share Award in Sculptor's Memory at Milan Exhibition
At Fondazione ICA Milano, the exhibition "Dancing at the Edge of the World" showcases five contenders for the eighth Arnaldo Pomodoro Prize for Sculpture. Artists Bronwyn Katz, Dan Lie, Yu Ji, Trương Công Tùng, and Luana Vitra have chosen to divide the prize money equally in honor of Arnaldo Pomodoro, who passed away on June 22, 2025. Since its inception in 2006, the prize has aimed to assist sculptors aged 25 to 45, and this year, the award has increased from €10,000 to €30,000. The exhibition draws inspiration from Ursula K. Le Guin's essay collection. Featured works include Trương Công Tùng's "The secret code" and Yu Ji's "Forager – Lunch (2020-2026)." The jury was led by Anne Reeve.
