FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WORLD-CLASS CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS CONTRIBUTE WORKS TO 2016 TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL ARTISTS AWARDS PROGRAM, CURATED BY ALEX GARTENFELD AND SPONSORED BY CHANEL
Original work by Keith Edmier, Stephen Hannock, Marc Hundley, Zak Kitnick, John Miller, Virginia Overton, Laura Owens, Clifford Ross, Josh Tonsfeldt and Sara VanDerBeek will be awarded to winning filmmakers at 15th annual TFF following public exhibition
NEW YORK, NY- March 14, 2016 -The 2016 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by AT&T, today announced the participants of this year's Tribeca Film Festival Artists Awards Program, sponsored by CHANEL. Curated by Alex Gartenfeld, Deputy Director and Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, the roster of contemporary artists participating in the 15th edition of the program include new contributors Keith Edmier, Marc Hundley, Zak Kitnick, John Miller, Virginia Overton, Laura Owens, Josh Tonsfeldt and Sara VanDerBeek, as well as longtime supporters Stephen Hannock and Clifford Ross. Each artist has personally selected one of their original works that will be awarded to the winning filmmakers selected by the TFF jury at the 15th annual Tribeca Film Festival. This year's TFF will run April 13-24.
The collection will be featured in a free, public exhibition before being presented to the award-winning filmmakers from April 11 - 23, between the hours of 9am- 6pm, at the Tribeca Festival Hub, 50 Varick Street, Manhattan. The Tribeca Festival Hub is Tribeca's creative center and a gathering place for artists, thinkers, and storytellers, featuring ten days of immersive storytelling experiences, musical performances, and high profile talks. Programs, including virtual reality and interactive installations, can be accessed with a Festival Hub Pass, available at tribecafilm.com.
When we first started Tribeca, I had no idea we were supposed to give out cash awards, said TFF co-founder and Tribeca Enterprises Executive Chair Jane Rosenthal. And I cant bear those lucite plaques that are so ugly no one wants to keep them. The Artists Awards were all about art from one artist to another, and the importance of artists supporting each other's work across disciplines. Over the past 15 years, weve been fortunate to partner with some of worlds finest contemporary artists to award original work to the winning filmmakers. I'm proud to continue that tradition with these 10 artists.
The Tribeca Film Festival has a deep, decades-long commitment to excellence, to supporting emerging and established voices, and to the city itself, said Artists Awards curator Alex Gartenfeld. That dedication is reflected in the selection of artists for 2016, which also highlights the pervasive influence of new media, cinema and film on contemporary art production and images.
The tradition of celebrating New York artists has been a part of the Tribeca Film Festival since its first year, when TFF co-founder Jane Rosenthal brought together downtown artists for the first Artists Awards program. Past participants have included Matthew Barney, Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close, Anh Duong, Rachel Feinstein, Maurizio Galimberti, Nan Goldin, Ellsworth Kelly, Jeff Koons, Brice Marden, Yoko Ono, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, and Cindy Sherman, and Kara Walker, among many others.

Stephen Hannock is an American Luminist painter known for his atmospheric nocturnes, which often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends, or the events of daily life. He has demonstrated a unique appreciation for contemporary storytelling through the painting medium. His inventive machine polishing of the surfaces of his paintings gives a characteristic luminous quality to his work. His design of visual effects for the 1998 film What Dreams May Come garnered him an Academy Award . His works appear in collections worldwide, i
