Symposium and award ceremony
On two successive afternoons and evenings-one at each site respectively-an international roster of art writers are brought together - with a focus on the Dutch context and how it translates to an international one. The symposium is organized on the occasion of the 2012 Prijs voor de Jonge Kunstkritiek (Young Art Critic's Prize), an initiative of de Appel Arts Centre, the Mondriaan Fund and Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art. The prize is meant to stimulate young art critics and increase the media attention for art criticism and journalism of high qualitative standards. In 2012, the biannual prize is awarded for the third time. The year's winners are announced during a ceremony at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam on Thursday 29 November 2012, from7.30 to 9 pm, following the second day of the symposium taking place from 4 to 7 pm.
