The Prize Winner jury has announced the winners of the Golden Dragons in Ladonia Biennial 2009.
Golden Dragon: Moscow Poetry Club
The Invincible Armada (after Lope de Vega)
Transforming text-into-art-into-text introduces an aspect of adventure that in a spectacular way alters how we perceive our understanding of what art is.
Moscow Poetry Club expresses a desperation related to the hardships of history; only during a strong repression the poet will be able to show strength.
Silver Dragon: Rosa Barba
The Lost Island
She captures the moment of what has not yet happened in a way that subversively alters our perception of 'what is'.
Bronze Dragon: Chen Zhen
Jue Chang - Fifty Strokes to Each
Chen Zhen finds a starting point in the specific site and makes a performance about communication and participation. An affinity between the site and the world is created.

Atsuko Tanaka (1932-2005) and Akira Kanayama (1924-2005), were original members of the Osaka-based avant-garde group Gutai Art Association (and, later, husband and wife). Tanaka is best-known for her 1956 Electric Dress of colored lightbulbs and wires (shown in the biennial).
