Videobrasil em Contexto Prize winners announced
Claudio Bueno from Brazil and Mahmoud Khaled from Egypt were the artists selected by the selection board for the Videobrasil em Contexto Prize. The works of Bueno’s, a native of São Paulo who is currently pursuing a master’s degree from the University of São Paulo, involve performance and installation, using connectivity and remote interference in his research into digital poetics. Khaled’s multidisciplinary production moves through video, photography, text, and installation to address contemporary socio-political trajectories.
Promoted through a partnership between London’s Delfina Foundation and São Paulo’s Casa Tomada, the Videobrasil em Contexto Prize brings an innovative focus into Videobrasil’s Collection: over the course of three month-long residencies in São Paulo and London, the two artists will develop works whose creative processes and results will be respectively presented in London and São Paulo, and incorporated into the collection and an online publication.
