Bosch Young Talent Show BYTS draws international young artists to the Netherlands

49 promising, young visual artists from Europe and the USA show their work during the Bosch Young Talent Show (BYTS) at SM’s – Stedelijk Museum, municipal museum -'s Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. During the second edition of this international, contemporary art event from 17 September up to and including 16 October 2011, the young talents show their work, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, video art, collages and performances.

Unique concept with cutting edge talent
The BYTS concept is unique. The young artists are nominated by renowned scouts from the so-called Bosch cities, those are the cities that possess one or more works by the most famous mediaeval Dutch painter Jheronimus Bosch in a public museum collection. These scouts will make a cutting-edge selection from students and former students below the age of 30 from visual art academies in their own Bosch city. A challenging concept with an exciting and innovative result. These are young artists who, just like Jheronimus Bosch 500 years ago, are engaged in the further development of the imagery that renders present-day art its identity and character. BYTS offers them the possibility to present themselves on an international stage, true to the Jheronimus Bosch heritage.
