14ymedio, 23 October 2015 — Tania Bruguera has been selected along with
five other candidates as a possible winner of the 2016 Hugo Boss Prize,
an award that the Guggenheim Foundation in New York awarded every two
years since 1996 in recognition of artists whose work is "among the most
innovative and influential of our time."

Nancy Spector, Deputy Director and 'Jennifer and David Stockman Chief
Curator' of the Guggenheim Museum and president of the jury, announced
the finalists, chosen by a panel of art critics and curators, on
Friday. In the last two decades, the jurors have chosen as finalists
influential artists from around the world, recognizing both emerging and
established artists of all ages, genders and media.

Along with Bruguera, nominees for the prestigious recognition include
the British Mark Leckey, Americans Ralph Lemon and Laura Owens, Egyptian
Wael Shawky and South Korean Anicka Yi.

The winner of the Hugo Boss Prize will be announced in the fall of 2016
and will receive $100,000 and hold an exhibition dedicated to their work
in 2017 at the Guggenheim Museum.
