The ANTEPRIMA x CHAT Contemporary Textile Art Prize aims to encourage and promote artists with Asian connections who offer new insights into textile materials, techniques and history. In the inaugural edition, eight curators from different countries who have a deep understanding of Asian contemporary art nominated four artists each. An international jury of five esteemed members then selected eight finalists based on five criteria: potential, originality, skill, idea and methodology. The jury judged the finalists’ works on site and announced the winner on 29 November. During the exhibition, visitors are also invited to vote for their favourite artwork in the Audience Prize.
