The BAL and the ADAGP have awarded the first BAL Prize for Young Artists to Clément Cogitore for his Braguino project, a journey with photography and film in search of an “impossible community”, hidden away in the heart of the Siberian forest. This project will be shown at the BAL in the autumn of 2017 along with a publication. Clément Cogitore will also receive an endowment of 20,000€ that will allow him to complete his project.
Among the 426 portfolios received, the jury also wished to distinguish six favorites for a special mention: David de Beyter, Rébecca Digne, David Fathi, Wiame Haddad, Gábor Arion Kudász and Matthieu Raffard.
In September 2016, these six will benefit from two days of masterclasses where they will have the opportunity to meet professionals and personalities from the world of visual arts (graphic designers, managers, critics, artists, collectors, etc.) with the goal of helping them better identify the objectives of their work, to enrich and to develop their artistic projects.
