replica rolex announced the mentors for the next cycle of its arts initiative at the showcase that marked the end of the 2008/2009 programme in London earlier this month.
Zhang Yimou, arguably China’s most successful film director, will be joined by other artistic masters, including Anish Kapoor (visual arts), Brian Eno (music), Hans Magnus Enzensberger (literature), Peter Sellars (theatre) and Trisha Brown (dance).
Each mentor will spend the next five months meeting and “auditioning” a few of the most promising young artists from all over the world identified by replica rolex’s international nominating panels. Once they make their decision, they will pair up with their protégés and participate in a one-to-one creative collaboration.
In addition to the year-long artistic relationship, which includes the sharing and refining of their creative work, protégés will each receive a grant of US$25,000 (RM86,250) to cover any major expenses required by the programme, including travel.
When the year of mentoring is complete, replica rolex will provide each young artist with another US$25,000 to support new works and projects.
