Plateau Prize: what gets said when nothing is explained
This prize asks artists to rely on the work itself to communicate - through form, material, composition, and resolution - without explanation doing the work for it. Artist statements still exist for audiences, but judging takes place without them. The focus is on whether the work can stand on its own in the room: holding attention, creating feeling, and communicating something recognisable to a viewer through what is seen and experienced, rather than what is explained.
For viewers and collectors, this is an exhibition that invites personal interpretation. Artists may have an intention, but meaning isn’t fixed - what you notice, feel, or connect with is valid. There is no single “right” reading here. This is a space where conversation, curiosity, and trusting your own response are part of the experience.The refined Entry Details will be announced late March. Please keep an eye out on our Socials for this.
