This edition marks the tenth anniversary of the BES Photo award, featuring works by artists from Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique and Angola. Three artists were chosen for this year’s edition. Délio Jasse works between his home in Luanda and Lisbon. His research explores different printing techniques and their relationship with memory and identity documents. José Pedro Cortes, from Porto, studied at the Kent Institute of Art and Design. He has exhibited his works in several European cities, and has primarily presented his photographs in books that construct narratives about the experiences of living in different locations. Letícia Ramos, from Santo Antônio da Patrulha, Porto Alegre, lives and works in São Paulo. She has focused her work on optical devices, variations in image scale and transfer and translatability of image technologies. These three artists have produced new works for the BES Photo 2014 award, which will be presented in the Museu Coleção Berardo in Lisbon, and later in the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in São Paulo.
The finalists were chosen by a jury consisting of Bisi Silva, director of the Centre for Contemporary Art in Lagos, Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, independent curator in São Paulo, and João Fernandes, deputy director of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
On 2 July, the winner of this edition will be chosen by the final selection jury, consisting of Elvira Dyangani Ose, curator of international art at the Tate Modern in London, Luis Weinstein, photographer and organizer of the Valparaíso International Photography Festival, and María Inés Rodríguez, director of CAPC, Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux.
