Ishmael Randall-Weeks has been honored with the Mid-Career Artist Award by the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation in Medellín, Colombia, for his work *Tribuna*. This recognition is part of the foundation's prestigious Grants and Commissions Awards for 2024, The Tribuna sculptures are part of a new series of on-going works that reinforce Randall Weeks' interest in exploring –through evocative abstract images– the tension between natural space and ideas associated with modernity and progress.
CIFO's Grants and Commissions Program offers emerging, mid-career and established contemporary Latin American artists (regardless of their country of residency) the opportunity to develop and present experimental and engaging new work. The program enables artists to develop their work outside the constraints of the commercial marketplace, and provides them with a unique platform to present projects to audiences worldwide. Up to six emerging artists, and up to three mid-career or established artists are offered the opportunity, funds, and space to develop and exhibit new work. The foundation also presents one established artist with an Achievement Award in recognition of their career. Read More.
