 Mangalos Award was initiated in 2002 by Center for Contemporary Art from Belgrade and Fund for Civil Society from New York as a part of the project for young visual artists award with the idea to establish a award that will be on the yearly level, you know, support for the younger artists, you know, to go to America to visit one of the one of the biggest art centers like like New York and also the opportunities for the young artists to meet their colleagues, our professionals, and to see all these, you know, institutions. In up to 2006 it was like a award organized by Center for Contemporary Art from Belgrade and from 2006 Context Gallery and Artistic Group Desert take a part in organization for that award and now for 2011 Raymond Gallery will take part also in organizing this, we have to say, really important and the most important award for the young artists here. As a part of the award few years ago, organizers established some kind of financial support for the for the new artistic production. Actually the suppliers besides their portfolios giving suggestion proposal actually for the new new productions for their for their work and what we can see at this moment in the Raymond Gallery that is the winners for that part of the award from 2008-2009 and there is a five artists, let's say three girls and two guys from one side there is a Paul Amour artist living at this moment in in Germany and her main practice is photography but at this exhibition she presents herself with some video piece actually it's a footage you know and in this footage she is trying to you know to clarify some 19th century study about normality of woman position in a society on the other side is a video piece of Maria Georgievich this piece is actually home musical and this piece she dedicated to her to her mother on the other side on the wall we can see the the work of Andrea Palašti artist young artist from Novi Sad she spent some times in Albania for some residence and there she took the photos of the shutters you know from the ex socialist time in in Albania in the corner of the gallery we can see also wall installation of Franco Trava younger artists with a very strong statements sentences you know and with some photos and drawings etc. clarifying his position as as an artist as an individual in contemporary Serbian society and also in the lobby of the gallery we have a piece of Danilo Perniat a younger artist and he also produced some kind of booklet it's actually the transcript of the lecturing you know that he gave because of his proposal for the mangelos award and that work dealing with non-possibility for him or for everyone from here you know to do some kind of acquisition of young Albanian artist from Kosovo so he's dealing much more with the actual political situation economical political situation in Serbia they mainly do site-specific interventions in public space they often very ephemeral work that exists only during the time of either work itself or the exhibition so it's often performative or sculpture interventions sometimes participatory I think this is quite one of the crucial things that mangelos offers and that is discovering new artists that either I don't have an opportunity to exhibit somewhere else or don't belong to this mainstream artist group that exists here
