The Indian artist Nalini Malani won the biennial Joan Miró Award for 2019. The award is named after the Spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
Malani, born in the Pakistani city of Karachi in 1946, considers that her work was influenced by her refugee experience during the partition. She now lives in Mumbai.
The jury of the award noted "Malani's long-standing commitment to the silent and dispossessed people of the world, especially women." He also praised his "prodigious intellectual curiosity, his radical imagination and his socio-political conscience".
Fundació Joan Miró, the Spanish art museum that awards this prize with the La Caixa Bank, also highlighted the "complex artistic quest of Malani on immersive installations". The jury acknowledged that his jury had recognized "his personal iconography where a deep knowledge of ancient mythologies converges with a bold condemnation of contemporary injustices".
La Caixa will give Malani a prize of 70,000 euros (Prize: 59.5 lakh) and will cover the production of an exhibition of his work in 2020 in Barcelona. Previous winners are Olafur Elibadon, Pipilotti Rist, Mona Hatoum, Roni Horn, Ignasi Aballi and Kader Attia.
Joan Miró created the Fundació Joan Miró in 1975. He died in 1983.
