With selected artists coming from Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and Singapore, as well as the UK, the competition reflects the significant rise in the gallery’s international profile since its recent expansion and redevelopment, and the appointment of Alfredo Cramerotti as new Director in 2011.
The shortlisted artists are: Jacqueline Bebb, Jane Bustin, Cath Campbell, Tomas Chaffe, Danilo Correale, Sean Edwards, Alex Farrar, Claudio Gobbi, Gareth Griffith, The Hut Project, Yuki Kishino, Lawrence Leaman, James Lewis, Stuart Middleton, Edward Morgan, Philip Newcombe, John Henry Newton, Laura Reeves, Zhao Renhui, Hua Kuan Chen Sai, Chris Shaw-Hughes, Nikolaus Schletterer, Mathew Tom, Alaena Turner, Gwyn Williams, and Jesse Wine.
Alongside a first prize of £10,000, this year an additional People’s Choice award of £1,000 will be given to the artist who receives the most votes from the visiting public during the exhibition’s run.
Selectors for MOSTYN Open 18 are Adam Carr, Curator of MOSTYN; Alfredo Cramerotti, Director of MOSTYN; and Ryan Gander, artist.
