DISCOVERY PRIZE 2023 WINNER
This year’s DISCOVERY Prize is being awarded to Capsule Shanghai for their presentation with Curtis Talwst Santiago. The jury was convinced by the carefully considered conceptual and spatial development of an exhibition within the format of a fair. Drawing on themes around the carnival, Curtis Talwst Santiago opens up a rich series of reflections around collectivity, transcendence, joy, cultural exchange and the inversion of structures of high and low. These strands are formulated across sculpture, painting and installation within a language of striking visual immediacy and energy.
DISCOVERY PRIZE
The DISCOVERY prize is awarded each year to the gallery with the best presentation in the DISCOVERY section. This section includes galleries presenting recent productions (in this case, 2017-2023) by emerging international talents. It is an important part of the Art Brussels ‘discovery’ profile. Art Brussels wishes to support the younger scene, and launched this prize in 2013, which is awarded annually on the opening day to the gallery that has made the most original and engaging presentation at the fair.
The selection is made by a professional jury. This year, the members of this jury are: Isabelle Bertolotti, Magali Elali and Fatima Hellberg.

The DISCOVERY Prize is supported by Moleskine.
