Last year,
Jury President Massimiliano Gioni awarded the Absolut Art Award for art work to LA - based artist Frances Stark, and to Tate curator, Mark Godfrey, for art writing.
A shortlist of five finalists from both the Art Work and Art Writing category will be revealed in January 2017, selected by the 2017 Jury — led by

jury president Massimiliano Gioni, the 2015 Absolut Art Award jury have announced the finalists as follows:
The Berlin Film Festival came to a close this weekend when
jury president Meryl Streep announced the winners with her fellow jury members.
Following Argento's speech and the presentation of the award, this year's Cannes
jury president Cate Blanchett said, «It is hard to stand as a woman,» the Hollywood Reporter writes.
He also served as
the jury president of the 64th Cannes Film Festival.
But if Cannes
jury president Pedro Almodóvar softens his anti-Netflix stance when it comes to doling out the silverware, hopefully Ahn will at least be in with a shot of bringing home the bacon.
Tomorrow, Cannes
jury president Isabelle Huppert will meet with her formidable, female - dominated team of eight — including the diverse likes of Robin Wright Penn, Asia Argento, James Gray and Hanif Kureishi — to pick over the 20 Competition titles they have seen over the last fortnight and select their -LSB-...]
Chen Kaige, one of China's most influential directors whose Farewell My Concubine won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, will play the role of
Jury President.
With Pedro Almodovar announced as
jury president, it will be interesting to see if he continues the trend of ambivalent Cannes juries who seem to be more interested in making political statements.
I'm sipping an Orangina on the «Terrasse des Journalistes» atop the Cannes Film Festival Palais after an especially rollicking press conference, where
jury president Pedro Almodóvar and Cannes newcomer Will Smith took opposing sides in the festival's roiling Netflix controversy.
The jury is also the festival's most diverse, featuring
jury president Pedro Almodovar, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain, Park Chan - wook, Maren Ade, Fan Bingbing, Agnes Jaoui, Paolo Sorrentino, and Gabriel Yared.
On her appointment as
Jury President, Blanchett said: «I have been to Cannes in many guises over the years; as an actress, producer, in the marketplace, the Gala - sphere and in Competition.
The jury president was looking to make a point that our society has become too disposable, and there is no reason to crowd our landfills with perfectly good clothing.
And how much impact will the dual votes of
jury president Joel and Ethan Coen factor in?
«Women are not a minority in the world, and yet our industry says the opposite,» said
jury president Cate Blanchett and, in French, Agnes Varda, from the top of the Palais steps.
Before the premiere,
jury president Cate Blanchett led a march of 82 women up the famous red Palais steps.
Already slated to serve as
the jury president, WKW will be opening the Berlin Film Festival with «The Grandmaster.»
Wong Kar Wai, the director behind «Chungking Express» and «In the Mood For Love,» has been selected to be
the Jury President of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.
As you might recall, he's been named
jury president for the Berlin Film Festival in February, so maybe it is just final touch - ups he's working on.
And here's director (and festival
jury president) Wong Kar - Wai's.
For him to become
jury president, is a wish come true.
In a highly unusual step,
jury president Steven Spielberg announced that the prize was...
She's the tenth woman to be
jury president, following Olivia de Havilland (1965), Sophia Loren (1966), Michele Morgan (1971), Ingrid Bergman (1973), Jeanne Moreau (1975 and 1995), Francoise Sagan (1979), Isabelle Adjani (1997), Liv Ullmann (2001), Isabelle Huppert (1999), and Jane Campion (2014), the only woman to ever win the Palme d'Or.
Haneke's Palme d'Or chances could face a bigger obstacle in
jury president Isabelle Huppert who, as a two - time collaborator with the filmmaker, might not want to risk accusations of bias.
(Wong is also
jury president of this year's festival.
Jury president Pedro Almodóvar has already suggested he would resist handing the top prize to a Netflix production
Cate Blanchett is
the jury president.
Plus it will not hurt that Isabelle Huppert is
jury president.

jury president Cate Blanchett, Chang Chen, Robert Guediguian, Khadja Nin, Lea Seydoux and Andrey Zvyagintsev.
Under
the jury president, Jane Campion, the best films so far in main competition here have revolved around female characters — complex, imperfect, beautifully drawn these leading roles offer up a counter to the majority of films that get paid attention to here in the US, on the festival and awards circuit leading up to the Oscars.
Some critics, including our very own Damon Wise, thought that French director Abdellatif Kechiche's three - hour coming of age love story would be too sexually graphic for
jury president Steven Spielberg to put his name to, but Blue Is The Warmest Colour — also known as La Vie D'Adèle Chapitre 1 et 2 — has won out, taking home the coveted Palme d'Or.
The Cannes jury often rewards persistence, and many are saying that the appointment of Isabelle Huppert (twice a Haneke leading lady) as
jury president works in his favor.
