PNEK Art Prize

The 4th edition of “The Winter Solstice” was held in the December 2015. The program included an exhibition, performances and concerts lasting until sun rose. After 4 years of collaboration, PNEK and Vandaler Forening finally launched “From Dusk till Dawn PNEK Art Prize” which aims to support and encourage experimental and time-based practices that take on the challenge to keep us awake and focused till sunrise, stretching the darkness of the longest night of the year into a state of dream, utopia and poetry.

Vandaler Forening organises, conducts and facilitates art events with a special focus on experimental, time-based, collaborative and collective practices in relation to landscapes and public space.
