Alessandra Ferrini (Florence 1984), Silvia Rosi (Scandiano - RE 1992) and Namsal Siedlecki (Greenfield USA 1986) are the finalists of the third edition of MAXXI BVLGARI PRIZE, the project for the support and promotion of young artists that unites the MAXXI Museum arts of the 21st century and Bvlgari, and which over the years has launched many new talents on the international scene.

Identified among a shortlist of artists presented by Italian critics and curators Valentina Bruschi, Gaia Di Lorenzo, Eva Fabbris, Simone Frangi, Pier Paolo Pancotto, Gea Politi, Paola Ugolini and Eugenio Viola, the finalists were chosen by an international jury - of which in rotation there are highly prestigious curators and directors of the main cultural institutions around the world - composed of Hoor Al Qasimi President and Director of Sharjah Art Foundation United Arab Emirates, Chiara Parisi Director Pompidou-Metz, Dirk Snauwaert Director of WIELS Contemporary Art Center in Brussels, with Hou Hanru MAXXI Artistic Director and Bartolomeo Pietromarchi MAXXI Art Director.

The site-specific works created by the finalists of the award will be exhibited from 24 June 2022 at MAXXI in an exhibition curated by Giulia Ferracci. In October 2022 the jury will evaluate the submitted works and will nominate the winner, whose work will be acquired by the museum.
