Concept
An acronym for Transdisciplinary Explorative Slovenian Art Award, the name TESLA is also alluding to Nikola Tesla, a maverick innovator and thinker born in 1856 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The whole enterprise is firmly rooted in an understanding of the needs of the artistic field that is somewhat lacking a more thorough institutional support. One of the aims of the award is thus to improve the conditions of artistic production, with another important dimension being that of forefronting younger, yet unrecognised artists in the early stages of their career.
The applicants – who must be under 35 years old &ndasH; should apply with new, previously unrealised project ideas. In 2017 the applicants must be Slovenians, but will in the years to follow also include people from the wider Balkan region.
Awarded projects and artworks
One can enter with pieces such as Interactive Sculptures, Generative and AV Installations, Sound Art, AV projects, Kinetic Artworks, Light Art, Tactical Media and other forms of art combining traditional and digital media. Winner is to be selected by an international jury featuring from different media art organisations and an independent curator.
The realised artwork will be part of the Impermanent MoTA Collection. Mota offers production and technical support in the process of creating the artwork. By applying, the artist grants permission to MoTA to exhibit the work locally and internationally. Also, the new artwork will be presented at the City Museum of Ljubljana, a project partner at the award.
