Since its inception in 1989, the Open has functioned as a call-out to artists of any age, geographical background and residing place to enter, with an exhibition of the selected artworks taking place at MOSTYN, and a prize of £10,000 awarded to a single artist or collective. While continuing in this tradition, the 18th edition will also bring a fundamental addition. A prize of £1000 will be given to the ‘People’s Choice’, which will be determined by the artist or collective who receives the most votes from the visiting public during the exhibition’s run. In doing so, the questions that will be raised, and central to this renewed edition, are: How do we examine and judge works of art? What criteria do we bring to perceiving, interpreting and understanding artwork? What really makes our favourite?

Adam Carr has been named curator of visual arts at Mostyn in North Wales.
Over the past decade Carr has organized exhibitions for museums and institutions around the world, including the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, Castello di Rivoli in Turin, and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris, as well as worked with artists like Claire Fontaine, Ryan Gander, Simon Fujiwara, and Dan Rees. In addition to his work as a curator, he is a regular contributor to publications like Flash Art, Mousse, and Spike Art Quarterly.
Said the British-born curator of his appointment: “Having visited Mostyn since I was a child, it has played a strong influence in the formation of my work as a curator. I look forward to contributing to Mostyn’s vision at an exciting time in its evolution, with the recent expansion and redevelopment, and with the appointment of Alfredo Cramerotti as its new director.”
