The laureates of the 2024 edition of the Artists Development Programme (ADP) — the EIB’s flagship talent scouter and accelerator for emerging visual artists from Europe — have been selected!
They are:
- Gilad Ashery (Portugal, 30) and Alessandro Di Lorenzo (Italy, 27) were selected for the thematic call Disruption: The Imprint of Man;
- Maxine Weiss (Germany, 31) was selected for the thematic call The Future of Water;
- Maria Trabulo (Portugal, 35) was selected for the geographic call targeting artists from Austria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Slovakia;
- Yulia Protsyshyn (Ukraine, 34) was selected for the geographic call targeting artists from Ukraine.
For the first time, this year’s ADP laureates will benefit from two mentors: Franco-Italian visual artist Tatiana Trouvé, who already mentored the 2022 and 2023 editions; and professor, theorist and art critic Christophe Kihm.
Moreover, the 2024 edition will take place in two locations: the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) in Luxembourg. The 2024 laureates will spend the first two months of their residency in Paris, and will move to Luxembourg to complete the ADP cycle in close proximity to the European Investment Bank.
As the EIB Group’s flagship Arts & Culture initiative, the ADP echoes the Bank’s investment in Europe’s knowledge economy and amplifies its efforts to support innovation by offering the next generation of European artists the opportunity to develop their practice in a high-quality professional setting, under the mentorship of an internationally-acclaimed artist.
More than just a residency scheme, the ADP also serves as a living laboratory for examining the most pressing issues of today – climate change, global economies, migration, diversity, the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine – through the lens of art. Works acquired from ADP artists after their residency have greatly enriched the EIB art collection; and the socio-political commentary they often contain sparks reflection and discussions on many of the Bank’s values and strategic priorities.
As Europe’s premier accelerator for emerging artistic talent, the ADP has propelled the careers of artists who have gone on to exhibit at some of the world’s most prestigious arts institutions (such as Tate Britain), and receive recognition from the art world’s most renowned prizes and events (such as the Turner Prize nomination and the Venice Biennale).
Since its creation in 2013, 34 artists or artistic duos from 17 EU Member States and Turkey have participated in the Artists Development Programme. 44 bodies of work have been produced and 33 have been acquired by the EIB to further enrich its collection thus impacting the artistic career of many.
