\n\tIndonesian-born artist Dian Suci has been awarded the 2025\u201327 Max Mara Art Prize for Women. Cecilia Alemani, curator of the prize and chair of the jury, along with representatives from the Museum MACAN, the Collezione Maramotti, and the family that founded the fashion brand Max Mara made the announcement today at the opening of the Venice Biennale.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe award, established in 2005 to support mid-career women artists, gives Suci a six-month traveling residency in Italy customized to her winning project proposal. The residency will culminate with solo exhibitions at the Museum MACAN\u00a0in Jakarta and at the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy, which will acquire the new works. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tSuci\u2019s work, which ranges between installation, painting, sculpture, and video, frequently addresses how domestic experience intersects with state political power. Her proposal, titled \u201cCrafting Spirit: Cultural Dialogues in Heritage and Practice,\u201d will explore spiritual traditions in Italy and Indonesia as manifested in artisanal practices.<\/p>\n
\n\tWith stays in the Italian cities of Assisi, Umbria, Rome, Lecce, and Florence, Suci will focus on how the handcrafting of votive objects and religious images functions within contemporary culture as a form of resilience. \u201cMy proposal,\u201d\u00a0Suci said in a statement, \u201cemerges from stories of the body and memory within the lives and gestures of women artisans, whose work often exists between devotion and survival.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSaid Alemani,\u00a0\u201cDian Suci\u2019s work impressed me with its extraordinary capacity to transform the realm of everyday domestic life into a realm of political resistance. Her practice is perfectly aligned with the core concept of this prize, whose tenth edition has chosen to explore the artistic landscape of Indonesia.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
