Certainly not a superstitious lot! The CCP burst with the freshness and vibrancy of everything unexpected and thought-provoking as it launched the collective exhibits of its chosen best brats.
Bestowed on those under forty years of age, the Thirteen Artists Awards is the initiation and anticipation of progressive and innovative art. Prior to the year 2000, the Awards were given every four years. Art experts, established peers and professors nominate the artists.
The 2009 Thirteen Artists Awardees are Buen Calubayan, Don Djerassi Dalmacio, Kawayan de Guia, Racquel de Loyola, Christina Dy, Patricia Eustaquio, Winner Jumalon, Raya Martin, Iggy Rodriguez, Don M. Salubayba, Jaypee Samson, Pamela Yan-Santos, and MM Yu. The judges include: Mark Justiniani, Lao Lianben, and Eileen Legaspi-Ramirez.
Held every three years, the Thirteen Artists Awards is a celebration of the diversity of the great 13 Moderns in Philippine Art: Arsenio Capili, Bonifacio Cristobal, Demetrio Diego, Victorio Edades, Carlos “Botong” Francisco, Cesar T. Legaspi, Diosdado Lorenzo, Anita Magsaysay-Ho, Vicente Manansala Jr., Galo B. Ocampo, Hernando R. Ocampo, Jose Pardo, and Ricarte Purungganan.
