“TERRADA ART AWRAD 2023 Finalist Exhibition” Opens at Warehouse TERRADA: New Works by Mitsuo Kim, Yuma Tomiyasu, Yuki Harada, Satoshi Murakami and yang02
Unique warehouse company award
The contemporary art award TERRADA ART AWARD is designed to support emerging artists. Every two years, the jury carefully reviews the artists’ work and exhibition proposals before selecting the finalists. Over 1000 artists applied for the award last year, and five finalists were selected on September 11, 2023, approximately ten months after the application process started.
While there are plenty of public art competitions and awards, the TERRADA ART AWARD is unique to its founder, Warehouse TERRADA. There is no “Grand Prix” or ranking among the selected artists, but instead, a Jury Award is given to each finalist. Each jury member selects one artist and gives them feedback on their work, advice, and a message expressing their expectations for the future.

This Frieze week proved it’s high time to take AI art seriously — and 9 AI artists to know
Will 2024 mark the year AI art went mainstream? Each year, the Frieze London Artist Award gives its winner the chance to debut an ambitious commission at the fair. This time, the spotlight was on Lawrence Lek. His playable game and hard-hitting video – though at five minutes, too long for the fleeting attention spans of most fairgoers – follows the absurdist story of an AI ‘carebot’ who wrestles with an uncanny kind of human self-doubt.
Ben Luke, host of The Art Newspaper’s podcasts and former Standard critic, describes Lek as “neither a blind evangelist nor a sceptic” of new technologies. It’s fitting, then, that his installation leaves you lingering somewhere between fascination and fear.
