The Enaire Foundation Residence Award, which grants a scholarship to three artists who exhibit their work at the ninth edition of the fair and whose field of creation is photography, has selected Ana Linhares, from the Kubik gallery, Gema Rupérez, from gallery A del Arte and Javier Viver, represented by gallery Marisa Marimón. In addition, the jury has decided to highlight the work of Laura Salguero, from La Gran, with a special mention.
Ana Linhares, Gema Rupérez and Javier Viver will be able to enjoy a residence in Madrid in which to develop their work. They will be tutored by the artist Rosell Meseguer, have one month’s accommodation at the Felipa Manuela residence in Madrid, a production bag of 1,000 euros each and the participation, with a selection of works created during the residence, in the exhibition that the Enaire Foundation will hold at PHotoEspaña from June 2018.
