The Artes Mundi international contemporary art prize is worth £40,000 to the winner. All competing artists are emerging figures whose work has been exhibited at important international exhibitions like the Venice & Sao Paulo Biennales and the Yokahama Triennial.
The work on display includes a variety of media, film and video installations and sculpture, exploring notions of history, identity and memory, the body and communication.
The first Artes Mundi Prize was awarded to Chinese artist Xu Bing in 2004. Two years later the second was awarded to Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila. 2008 year's prize was awarded to Indian born N S Harsha at the end of April
