Inspiring quote by Wangechi Mutu, Artist of the Year 2010 |
|
|
|
'I have a theory that there's an incredible waste of resources, imagination, and ideas - although they are right in front of us. Often you find them in places you'd least expect: in areas with incredible poverty, with people who seem to be the least educated, but who are actually quite ingenious because they're still alive despite the conditions they live in...'
Wangechi Mutu was selected on the recommendation of the Deutsche Bank
Global Art Advisory Council as part of art activities: internationalism,
diversity and a connection between artistic themes and social issues.
The award does not include prize money but of conveying new and
noteworthy artistic positions to a wide public and providing long-term
impetus to the artist's career.
