Studio Voltaire and LOEWE FOUNDATION are pleased to announce Mumbai-based artist Prajakta Potnis as the second edition recipient of our year-long international residency.
Potnis’ paintings, videos and time-based installations highlight the fractures within everyday domestic life, particularly in the context of gender and social divides. Her works dwell between the intimate world of the individual and the world outside, effortlessly weaving together the complexities of emotions.
Shaunak Mahbubani (Independent Curator), Akansha Rastogi (Kiran Nadar Museum of Art), Veeranganakumari Solanki (The Gujral Foundation) and Mario D’Souza (Kochi Biennale) were invited to nominate twelve artists to apply for the award. Applications were selected by Devika Singh (The Courtauld Institute of Art), Studio Voltaire’s Director Joe Scotland and Curator (Studios and Residencies) Dot Zhihan Jia.
Established in March 2021, the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award celebrates talent, creative thinking, and individuality in contemporary art practice. The Award works to increase and strengthen equitable representation and access and amplify artistic voices across class, race, gender, sexuality and disability.
