Martinsons Award 2021
Martinsons Award 2021 is the international juried exhibition of the 3rd Latvia Ceramics Biennale, featuring artists from 38 countries.
As the nucleus and pivot of the biennale programme, the exhibition commemorates one of the most brilliant and internationally renowned Latvian ceramic artists – Pēteris Martinsons (1931–2013). Daugavpils was his native city, and now it is home to a vast collection of his work. Towards the end of the year, the biennale will be followed by a truly momentous event – the opening of Pēteris Martinsons Memorial Home that will house a permanent exhibition of the artist’s work.
Martinsons Award 2021 is organised by Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre in cooperation with Latvian Centre for Contemporary Ceramics.
Latvia Ceramics Biennale was instituted in 2016 and has always featured a dynamic series of events. Although it runs a little differently this year, without loud openings or vast public gatherings, the programme has retained its hallmark scale and quality. It stands a testament to the immense potential of Eastern and Northern Europe as regards contemporary ceramics and represents the ceramics domain worldwide as a field with the broadest and most incredible scope of opportunities. Alongside the habitual decorative objects and sculptural pieces, the exhibition also offers impressive spatial installations and performative works.
Out of nearly five hundred applications, an international jury picked the top 120 works from Latvia and other countries worldwide.
