poster for "2008 Altoids Award" Exhibition

The New Museum and Altoids, the Curiously Strong Mints®, present an exhibition of the winners of the The Altoids® Award: Ei Arakawa of New York City; Michael Patterson-Carver of Portland, Oregon; Lauren Kelley of Houston, Texas; and Michael Stickrod of New Haven, Connecticut.

The artists were selected among forty-six nominees by a jury composed of artists Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman, and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

A truly unique exploration of American emerging art, the prize is awarded biennially by the New Museum to four artists nominated and selected by a panel comprised entirely of other artists. Award recipients in 2008 are each given a $25,000 cash prize—totaling $100,000—as well as a joint exhibition organized by Massimiliano Gioni, Director of Special Exhibitions at the New Museum, offering these artists their earliest exposure to a broad, international museum audience.
