Third edition
The third edition of the Kap Art Prize has playing cards as its theme.
The game, an ancient art, an everlasting companion,
master of relationship with me, relationship with you.
A pastime, a challenge to win, a choice training.
I respond to the unknown:
cards face down, cards face up.
Mix, generate randomness.
Calculate the odds, wait and choose.
Your cards, good cards, bad cards.
Your hand, your gesture, your choice.
Card or discard? Play lost in the present.
Finished deck, sum up, victory or defeat?
It doesn't matter. only discovery,
new reaction, new selfs.

Second edition
THE DEATH
1 November 2022
The second edition of the Kap Art Prize explores the complexity and multifunctionality of the concept of death through works of art that represent different points of view and perspectives. The theme invites us to reflect on death as the end of life, but also as a symbol of liberation, a reason to live and a place of mystery and curiosity. Death is also seen as a constant present in daily life: we die every day due to wars, hunger, indifference, hypocrisy and mediocrity. This edition invites us to consider the value and preciousness of life.
First edition
WISH YOU WHERE HERE
September 24, 2022
The first edition of the Kap Art Prize has the theme "Wish you were here: absence and presence". Artists are invited to explore these concepts through their works, creating a dialogue about the importance of physical and emotional presence and absence in our lives. The final exhibition of the selected works will be an occasion to reflect on how we relate to others and to ourselves and to celebrate the beauty of presence and absence in creativity.
