We are thankful to Dana and Dražen very, very much for theirs great actions! We are thankful very much also to our Sponsor and all Jury Members!

 

William Andersen:

 

„I picked Pavlović’s photo with the man in body paint because

it is a little disturbing but completely grabs your attention. With similar swirls of paint on the man that look like the earth spirals in the poster, as well as the river and nature behind, it seems that the man, the poster and nature all become one.  This succinctly expresses the verse on the poster ‚To earth with Love.’

 

Marijan Grakalić:

 

"Pavlović’s photo with a body painted man and a river behind, is very impressive. It evokes the verse on the poster talking about the earth we love. It's just excellent! By just seeing it, everybody feels as a native. So I vote for this photo!"

WILLIAM ANDERSEN is an artist and an educator. He has exhibited his artwork throughout the United States and internationally in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Kuwait and Dubai.  He has received numerous honors and awards including a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship and the Mary Nohl Fellowship for Individual Artists.  Andersen’s work has been shown in the Wisconsin Triennial and Wisconsin Artists Biennial and in such places as the Museum of Modern Art Kuwait, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, INOVA, and the Milwaukee Art Museum. His artwork has been collected by members of the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well as is included in numerous public and private collections in Austria, the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea and the US.

 

William Andersen is currently an Assistant Professor of Studio Art and Graphic Design at the American University of Kuwait (AUK). Prior to his appointment at AUK, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Beloit College and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Andersen received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago after receiving a BFA in Painting & Drawing and a Cross-School Major in Art History & Criticism from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He was awarded a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship to research Chinese art and culture in Taiwan and China before moving to Kuwait in 2008. His artwork and point have been primarily influenced by his travels between the US and Asia over the last eighteen years.  During this time, he has watched as regions like the Middle East and Eastern Asia have emerged as economic and cultural forces and is fascinated by the tightening global web of economics, resource use, migration, and cultural hybridization. Because of this, the notions of globalization and hybridity are the central focus of his current artistic practice. Using a hybrid of traditional and new media approaches, his artwork often incorporates chinoiserie imagery, an interest acquired early on amid his mother’s collection of blue and white china.
