ArtPrize: Top 25 Jurors

This year's ArtPrize is the first to allow critics to pick out which one that stands out from the contest while the public voted on their favorites.

Each one is divided to 5 Categories: 2D, 3D, Urban space usage, Time-based and best Venue. They are all under by Tyler Green, Lisa Freiman, Susan Szenasy, Cathy Edwards, and Tom Eccles respectively.

These folks put their intuition in use by close examination and decided who will win for the main 100,000 dollars, with each category for 20,000.

Categories they chosen so far

Love Cures by R.Montgomery

Death and destruction

It's an inssurection

Of humans want for violance

It speards on feet of giants

But there is a cure

It is love pure

We need to love one another

Instead of killing eachother

People dont understand

Loves gentle hand

And the way it can cure

Our human want of war.

ArtPrize: Being "Captived" on Controversy

Lately around the city of Grand Rapids, artist Gurmej Singh had his exhibit removed from The B.O.B.'s space from the elements of various controversial subjects, such as Octo-mom and Saddam Hussein.

It's also the first for an entry to be removed from this year, before Artprize even started. Greg Gilmore, curator of the space, said it was too much for Family-friendly forum with the artist refuting his ideals.

 Various folks also had mixed reviews on decision and Singh's work. "Art is art. Art is something that creates conversation. Art is something that is thought provoking, art can be upsetting." said Singh himself.

The exhibit is still out of display from the owner's expense.

Bedtime Story by Anonymous

It is not all in your head

It is not just the wind

It is definitely something to worry about

The creaks are its jaws dropping slowly to the floor

Right outside your thin, fragile, weak door

That sound you hear outside

It is not the wind

But the undertaker whistling
