Howard Lake | 7 May 2013 | News
One artist will receive a prize of £40,000, with all other shortlisted artists receiving £2,000 each. Between five to seven artists will be invited to take part in the biennial exhibition in 2014.
Artes Mundi is based in Wales and the 17-week biennial exhibition will take place from 25 October 2014 at Wales’s National Museum of Art under the roof of National Museum Cardiff. The Artes Mundi prize will be awarded halfway through the exhibition.
In 2012 Mexican artist Teresa Margolles was awarded the prize for Artes Mundi 5. Previous winners were Xu Bing (2004), Eija-Liisa Ahtila (2006), NS Harsha (2008) and Yael Bartana (2010).

David Thorp, Associate Director of Artes Mundi said: “the prize is a large one by UK standards. It is designed to allow the winner, at an important stage in their career, the freedom to develop substantial new work or the time to reflect their practice and move it forward”.
The closing date for nominations is 28 June 2013.
