Fondazione Fotografia di Modena launches open call for artists under 40 on art and politics

Fondazione Fotografia di Modena has announced a new open call for artists under 40, with a deadline of December 11, inviting them to explore the relationship between art and politics through the question 'How do you want to be governed?'. The winning artists will receive a production grant and their works will be exhibited next spring at the Foro Boario in Modena. The initiative is inspired by a video work by Bosnian artist Maja Bajević, which has been part of the foundation's collection since 2009. The call is open to Italian artists or those residing in Italy working in photography, video, or installation. This is part of a broader trend of art prizes focusing on social impact, such as the Pollock-Krasner Foundation's new award in New York and the Prize for Art and Ethics awarded to Oliver Ressler in Thun, Switzerland.
