THE ALBERTA AWARDS 2004
Last year on November 7th, 2004 the Alberta duPont Bonsal Foundation held its annual Gala Dinner and Silent Auction at the elegant home of Vivian Lim and Joe Wong in La Jolla, CA. The evening recognized the 2004 Recipients of Art and Poetry.
The 2004 Alberta Prize Recipient for Art is Kelly Nipper. Nipper employs photography and video to create conceptual, yet poetic work that deals with the experience of time and movement. For Nipper's award the foundation donated Nippers four channel video installation, Bending Water into a Heart Shape, to the Orange County Museum of Art.
The 2004 Alberta Prize Recipient for Poetry is Sasha Steensen. Her winning manuscript, A Magic Book, was published and released in November 2004 by Fence Books. A Magic Book offers an alternative history and alternative myths of the founding of the United States of America.
