Overall Winner, 2011. Julie Blyfield, Scintilla series, Spiralling weed, Soft sponge, Sea urchin Vessels 2010. Silver.
The South Australian Museum’s Waterhouse Art prize is back again and this time they’ve made some changes. The now bi-annual award includes two categories and is open to local and international artists, as long as submitted works were created since January 2014.
The inclusion of digital art in the competition in 2016 represents a meaningful decision by the organisers. The organisation is determined to recognise the speed of art’s evolution, taking into account the extraordinary and varied representative forms artists can create from scientific data and discovery.
The museum is eager to encourage artists to contribute to the debate about natural sciences, producing their own commentary on issues central to the scientific community. Final judging will occur during the exhibition of short-listed works at the South Australian Museum.
