Eyes on Talents Award x ECAL
Carolin Schelkle, graduate from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, won the Eyes on Talents Award x ECAL for her project The Black Sheep of the Wool Industry. The Black Sheep of the Wool Industryis a research project investigating the possibilities of European waste-wool by exploring a new production process: automatic felting. The resulting jacket illustrates the potential of this technology and takes advantage of the natural properties of wool, turning it from a burden into a valued raw material.

Eyes on Talents Award x ECAL
Raphaela Haefliger, graduate from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, won the Eyes on Talents Award x ECAL for her project Aligna. Aligna is developed to improve the standards of typesetting on contemporary web browsers. The variable typeface offers a combined axis drawn to fill up the white space without recognising it. By maintaining control over the two extreme points, the trade-off between the loss of qualitative typesetting and the distortion of the character can be avoided. Regardless of its width, the typeface will sustain the typographical grey. Aligna can be combined with an algorithm that distributes the existing white space on a line.

Jules Goliath
Prix du Jeudi des Beaux-Arts
Jules Goliath won the Prix du Jeudi des Beaux-Arts 2022. He was exhibited at the Galerie Arcanes during the summer in the context of the exhibition À première vue. Jules Goliath uses concrete to question, among other things, the durability and apprehension of our disappearances. Since 2020, the Beaux-Arts de Paris and galleries in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district have joined forces every summer to invite recently graduated artists to exhibit in their spaces. For the first time, the Jeudi des Beaux-Arts association has chosen to award a prize intended to encourage an artist selected by an independent jury.

Tame Iti
Burr/Tatham Trust Award
Activist artist Tame Iti was named among the New Zealand Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi 2022 Laureates. A campaigner for Maori rights and the rights of his tribe Ngāi Tūhoe since the 1970s, Tame Iti has traversed boundaries of disciplines, genres and activities to tell indigenous stories. For his project I will Not Speak Māori Iti wrote the titular phrase, a reference to his punishment for speaking the language at school, before defiantly crossing out the 'not'. The other 2022 Laureates include the four-person Mata Aho Collective, Dr Maureen Lander, Areta Wilkinson, Hone Kouka, Paula Morris, and fa'afafine artist and fashion designer Lindah Lepou, who took away the inaugural Toi Kō Iriiri Queer Laureate Award.
