Open to artists under 30 working at the crossroads of art and technology — and who are not yet signed by a gallery — the award includes a three-month residency at the Delfina Foundation, as well as a $15,000 cash prize.
Golińska was chosen among fellow finalists Sahil Naik, (India) Kiah Reading, (Australia) Lukas Zerbst, (Germany) by a jury consisting of Delfina Foundation director Aaron Cezar, as well as Tate Research Centre curator Nada Raza, Harper’s Bazaar Art editor in chief Anne Procter, Unit Gallery founder Joe Kennedy, artist Rana Begum as well as ArteVue founder Shohidul Ahad-Choudhury.
Born in Gdańsk in 1990, the Warsaw-based artist works mainly with installation, sculpture, painting and photography, dealing “with the relationship between humans, public space and architecture”. The artist won thanks to her proposal Future Twice, a laser installation exploring the “relations between people and the ecosystem those relations create (...) and about all the borders and structures people experience while being a part of the art world or any other environment”.
