Love Lace : International Lace Award
The award seeks to challenge conventional notions of lace and its application in the areas of fashion, the built environment and digital multi media. At a time when innovation in textiles and materials is at the forefront of international design trends, we encourage the design of structures in materials limited only by the artist's imagination. We expect this brief will lead to experimentation with a wide range of materials and techniques and that we will gather work ranging from large spatial pieces to exquisitely delicate designs.
Each entry submission will be judged by a panel of Australian and International judges with reference to visual impact, originality and creativity, skill in execution and innovation in design, materials and technique. The work must be original and reflect the artist*s identity and cultural origins. The overall winner will be presented with $20,000 and there are five other prizes of $4,000 including an Australian and New Zealand student prize.
Finalists' work will be displayed in an exhibition at the
Powerhouse Museum, Sydney from July/August 2011.
