Young and Abandoned awarded grand prize at Feztiv Art 2010

Images from Young and Abandoned selected for the China Youth exhibit at Feztiv Art Shanghai.

My series, Young and Abandoned, was selected for the Grand Prize at Feztiv Art this past Friday. The festival continues this week at Art+ Shanghai. My thanks go out to the jury for the festival included: Agnes Cohade, Co-founder and Gallery Director of Art+ Shanghai Gallery, Ana Gonzalez: Co-founder and Gallery Director of Art+ Shanghai Gallery, Diana Freundl: the art director of Art + Shanghai Gallery, , Sylvie Levey: Film Director in China, Luc Buono: Metersbonwe Asia Pacific Vice-President, Jean Loh: curator at Beaugeste Photo Gallery. Patrick Wack was awarded second place. There was also an amateur division featuring strong photography, but I don’t have the names of the winners names at hand, unfortunately.

As part of the grand prize, I will take part in an exhibition later this year and will receive a distribution contract with myfab.com. More details about those will be announced here as they become available.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the organizers of the festival, especially Marie-Christine Moreels and the rest of the French Junior Chamber International of Shanghai, and the staff and owners of Art+ for their tremendous generosity.
