The Award celebrates the most outstanding exhibitions at VO galleries and artist-run spaces in Munich, created through local and international collaboration. It recognises the artists, curators, and venues making these exceptional exhibitions possible — underlining Munich's role as a vibrant centre for contemporary art dialogue, and acknowledging the curatorial and artistic ambition that defines Various Others. The VO Award is selected by an international jury of curators and art professionals. The jury of this inaugural edition comprises Margherita Belcredi (Phileas, Vienna), Álvaro Rodríguez Fominaya (MUSAC), Kolja Reichert (K21), and Lisa Zeitz (Weltkunst). The VO’26 Award will be given on the opening weekend and is made possible by the generous support from the patrons of Various Others.
