Artes Mundi, an international cultural event emanated from Wales, is designed to present and celebrate the best in the visual arts today by highlighting the unique capacity of the visual artist to communicate across culturl and linguistic boundaries, says The Rt Hon Rhodri Morgan AM, First Minister for Wales. This year's Artes Mundi comprises an exhibition at the National Museum & Gallery, a public programme of related activity and a series of BBC television documentaries. The ten shortlisted artists are Janine Antoni, Tim Davies, Jacqueline Fraser, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Lee Bul, Michal Rovner, Berni Searle, Fiona Tan, Kara Walker and Xu Bing.
