Within the realm of art, writers act as vital, informed connectors, materializing entangled relationships and articulating the bonds of artistic communities. As our world continues to become more interconnected, vast, and contradictory, a keen eye and voice are all the more valuable in understanding the complex webs of contemporary life. For the third year of the Artlab Editorial Fellowship, Jiaying Sim and Elvia Wilk were selected as the two Fellows. Open to art writers from anywhere in the world and at any stage of their career, this year’s Fellowship welcomes Sim and Wilk whose essay proposals promise fresh perspectives and critical insights on contemporary art. Connecting across boundaries, their forward-thinking insights bridge cultural communities in ways both big and small.
The 2025 Artlab Editorial Fellowship provides each writer with 10,000 USD to produce three pieces of web-based writing for publication on Artlab Editorial. With guidance from this year’s Fellowship Advisors, Rahel Aima and Orit Gat, along with Artlab Editor, Shannon Lee, Fellows will produce a vibrant body of new art writing and strengthen global connections between writers, readers, and artists.
I’m honoured to be a jurist and advisor for this year’s Hyuyndai Artlab Editorial Fellowship; more information is available here.
