Guerlain and the Lee Ufan Arles Foundation have named Livia Melzi winner of the fourth edition of their Art & Environment Prize. She won the majority of the votes of a jury that included the director of Dia Beacon, the founder of the MEP and the winner of the third edition.
The Art & Environment Prize was co-created by the Maison Guerlain and the Lee Ufan Arles Foundation. For its fourth edition, five finalists submitted a project. It was Livia Melzi who gathered the majority of the jury’s votes.
This jury is made up of permanent members, joined this year by three personalities. Jessica Morgan directs Dia Beacon and will soon head the Tate Modern in London. Jean-Luc Monterrosso is the founder of the MEP. Pooya Abassian, winner of the third edition, completes the trio.
The composition of the jury defines the nature of the prize. It brings together a museum, an institution devoted to photography and an artist already distinguished by the same award : three viewpoints external to the Maison, one of whom was himself chosen by this scheme.
For a House of perfumery, entrusting the choice of an environment-related project to an artist’s foundation and an independent jury amounts to accepting that the decision escapes it. The fourth edition provides a simple illustration : a former winner now sits among those who choose his successor.
