The Artes Mundi Prize has been established to celebrate visual culture within a global context. Set to become a biennial event, it showcases artists who have achieved recognition in their own country and are emerging internationally. The emphasis is upon those who are working with ideas of human form or presence, and producing art which adds to our understanding of the human condition.The inaugural Artes Mundi Prize, in 2004, attracted nominations from more than 60 countries. Respected curators Declan McGonagle and Fumio Nanjo spent a year visiting exhibitions and studios around the world, and considering the work of those nominated, before arriving at a shortlist of ten. This publication gives the background to the Prize and explores the work of the shortlisted artists in specially commissioned essays.Tessa Jackson is Artes Mundi's founding Artistic Director.

Me, Myself, I – Artists’ Self-Portraits explores self-portraiture by artists based in Britain between 1722 and 2022. It discusses the ways and traditions through which artists have presented themselves and how the genre has increasingly offered the means to take control and re-present oneself, often challenging society to re-think its social mores. It will provide an illuminating overview and contextual backstory to our current interest in self-representation and the selfie. Self-portraits can go beyond the professional towards the personal, with self-examination offering both analysis and psychoanalysis. Some artists have made multiple self-portraits over time, reflecting on how we are subject to change. Others have explored issues they have identified with, including the agency of women or the breaking of taboos around sexuality. Self-portraiture has also been a way of promoting oneself, ensuring artistic survival and long-term recognition. Since the 1940s it has played an important role for artists in expressing the complexities of identity and post-colonialism in Britain.
