About the Judge
Each year, the Award also gives the opportunity to view New Zealand’s contemporary art scene through the eyes of a respected curator. Judging this year’s award will be John Hurrell, who is an accomplished artist and is also well known in the national and international art scene as a curator, art writer and critic. Mr Hurrell was the art curator at Waikato Museum from 2001-2004. He now lives and works in Auckland where he writes art-related articles and manages EyeContact – an online magazine/art forum.
About the Award
The Bold Horizon National Contemporary Art Award is an opportunity for New Zealand artists to appear in an overview of national artistic practice and feature in a major exhibition within the Waikato Museum. The winner receives $15,000.
Among our national art community this Art Award, established by the Waikato Society of Arts in 2000, is regarded as one of New Zealand’s premiere contemporary art events. It has put Waikato on the map for its thought provoking entries that promote debate about what is fresh and innovative in art.
The winner of the Bold Horizon National Contemporary Art Award 2011 was Locust Jones, with his work 'Lozenge of Dawn'
