This year, for the second time, the Catalyst Award, founded by tranzit. hu,
will be handed out.

The award is given to individuals, projects, and initiatives which,
directly or indirectly, have an impact on the contemporary art scene–they
contribute to the presentation, discussion and mediation of art with their
progressive approach of form or substance. The award equally recognizes
progressive initiatives without institutional background or support, as
well as initiatives emerging within an institutional framework. What
"progressiveness" actually stands for is not predefined as this fundamental
issue–in accordance with the intentions of tranzit. hu –will be the focus
of a continuous professional debate. The goal of the Catalyst Award is to
enhance the appreciation, and its collective character, of inspiring
artistic initiatives. The award, therefore, purports to encourage the
social practice of recognition; its goal is not solely to create prestige.
Hence, the Catalyst Award deploys the framework and institution of the
awarding as a means, not as an end in itself.

In 2011, tranzit. hu invites nominations for the Catalyst Award in two
categories:

1. motor (initiatives which have been active for a long time, but function,
or functioned, as a catalyst);
2. novelty (initiatives of the recent past which are considered to be
catalysts).

Nomination and more info on the Catalyst Award blog:
katalizatordij2010.blog.hu

The nomination is open to everyone and is until November 30, 12pm.

The Catalyst Award awards a prize of HUF 500,000 per project, and a prize
designed by an artist.

Jury members:

Zoltan Balla, artist
Dora Hegyi, curator
Hajnalka Somogyi, curator
Samu Szemerey, architect
Borbala Szalai, art historian
Hedvig Turai, art historian
Jelena Vesic, curator (Belgrade)


The award ceremony: December 5, 2011, FUGA Budapest Center of Architecture
