Art Antwerp

The Art Antwerp 2024 Best Booth Prize rewarded the gallery presenting the most cohesive and compelling artistic vision at the fair.

The jury considered a range of criteria, including the artistic quality, diversity, inclusivity and relevance of each booth. The winning gallery received a €3,000 prize, awarded during the opening day of Art Antwerp on Thursday 12 December 2024.

The 2024 Best Booth Prize was awarded to Harlesden High Street and Season 4 Episode 6, presenting Alex Farrar and Benjamin Francis.

The 2024 jury brought together Elisa De Wyngaert, Curator at MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp; Maurice Funken, Director of NAK – Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Aachen; Joseph Kouli, French collector; and Charlotte Martens, Senior Curator at Kunsthal Rotterdam.

The statement of the jury: 

“The jury was impressed by the many booths that successfully created their own worlds through personal and intimate propositions, as well as daring statements. After careful and anonymous deliberation, the jury has chosen the winning booth: a shared presentation by Harlesden High Street (London, New York) and Season 4 Episode 6 (London). This collaborative effort features a duo presentation of works by Alex Farrar and Benjamin Francis.

The jury was particularly impressed by how this collaboration exemplifies that a joint effort can result in a cohesive and thoughtfully curated presentation within the context of an art fair. The presentation stands out for its well-balanced exhibition concept, a site-specific environment where the artists integrate art seamlessly into both body and space.”
