On Saturday, June 17, 2023, at Minos Palace hotel & suites, in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation presented the three selected artists of its 2023 Art Prize. Nomadic Murals<\/em> by Maros Fasoulis, Day <\/em>by Alexandros Laios, and Whispers travel and whisper to you again<\/em> by Ami Yamasaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its establishment in 2019, the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation Art Prize has been supporting and promoting contemporary artists by offering them the opportunity to create a new, site-specific artwork which will remain on permanent display in Crete, will become part of the Foundation\u2019s art collection,
and will join an important cultural heritage. Now in its third year, the Art Prize is a culmination of the Foundation\u2019s thirty-year long efforts to strengthen contemporary artistic leadership and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Prize introduced two changes: firstly, it was open to international artists. Secondly, instead of one, the Selection Committee awarded three equal prizes to the three proposals which stood out for their originality, creativity, site-specificity, and connection with the theme of Care\/Eudaimonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Prize called for site-specific, large-scale works created to be part of a specific, configured environment; works which narrate an internal path\/route, and which can be reference points\/landmarks within their exhibition space. Emphasis was also placed on the theme of Care\/Eudaimonia, which was
the theme of the recently inaugurated G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation Research Residency Programme (October 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
