    Dr.Luigi Maramotti, Chairman of Max Mara announced Corin Sworn as the fifth winner of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women at a ceremony at the Italian Embassy on January 23. Glasgow based artist Corin Sworn was chosen from a shortlist including Beatrice Gibson, Melanie Gilligan, Judith Goddard and Philomene Pirecki. The Max Mara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery is a biannual award established in 2005. It is the only visual art prize for women in the UK and aims to promote and nurture female artists, enabling them to develop their potential with the gift of time and space. The prize is open to UK artists working across any medium who have not previously had a solo survey exhibition. The winner is awarded a six month Italian residency starting in March 2014 which is tailored to fit the artist and their winning proposal for the Prize. During the residency the artist will have the opportunity to realise an ambitious new project which will be presented in major solo exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery in London and Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy in 2015.
