The winners of the first Terna Prize on display at the Chelsea Art Museum, NY, June 25th – July 12th, 2009. Amongst them, also one of our artists, Andrea Chiesi.

The exhibition, titled Transmitting Energy: A Contemporary Metaphor - Winners of the Terna Prize for Contemporary Art, features the winning works united in the Prize’s theme of connectivity but diverse in subject and media.

Highlights of Transmitting Energy include Terawatt Award winner Luigi Ontani for Electricthrone, a large lenticular print comically depicting the artist being shocked by an electric chair; Gigawatt Award winner Francesco Arena for Split Panel with Nietzsche’s Head, a sheetrock panel containing a bust of Nietzsche peering out from within; and Megawatt Award winner Andrea Chiesi for Kali Yuga 57, a graphic, oil-on-linen rendering of a derelict steel plant.
