The first Artes Munde Prize, founded to establish Wales as a leader in supporting contemporary art and worth approximately $75,000, has been awarded to New York artist Xu Bing for an installation made with dust from the September 11 terrorist attack. In the dust was written the Chinese text: “As there is nothing from the first, where does the dust collect itself?” Xu Bing was selected from a “short list” that included Janine Antoni, Lee Bul, Tim Davies, Jacqueline Fraser, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Michal Rovner, Berni Searle, Fiona Tan, and Kara Walker.
