COI article fails WP:ARTIST, as nearly all the exhibitions and prizes are all pay to play vanity affairs. This page was nominated for deletion in 2015 and kept based off of two votes in total (one was a weak keep); both of these votes were basically "it looks like some of these sources might be WP:RS" but neither dug in. I have dug in, and here are all the claims:
- In 2013 she received the Florence Shanghai Prize[2] for Rainbows End and Jump Johnny Jump,[3] video art installations and in -- As far as I can tell, this was an open call exhibition, for which 98 people were given a prize or special recognition. All of the original info is now gone, because the project website is now squatted by a link farm, but this google search has the info [1]
- 2012 the Israel Cultural Ministry Prize (he)[4] for Rainbow's End[5] video art installation. -- a NIS 5000 (1400 USD) prize. http://www.erev-rav.com/archives/23770 Unclear to me the degree of notability here. Most of what I found were news articles about people objecting to the prize's creation in 2011 in haaretz and forward. I found a handful of others who listed it as an award they had received, but no central listing about the award, or much more.
- In 2008, she was nominated for the KLM Paul Huf Award (nl) 2008 Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam. -- this is a major award, but she didn't win. She was one of 100 people nominated to apply.
- She took part of the 'Festival of Light' in the Brazilian capital -- can't verify, and merely a group exhibition.
- she also exhibited at the Haun Tie Art Museum in Beijing, China. -- can't verify, and merely a group exhibition.
- In 2012, she participated in the International Biennial Exhibition of Fine Art and Documentary Photography,[6] organized by The Worldwide Photography Awards[7] in Buenos Aires, Argentina. -- https://www.thegalaawards.com/about/ is a known vanity scam
- In 2015 she is invited to coordinate the residency program in the Vancouver Biennale’s.[8] -- couldn't verify on the VB site, but this seems like a admin/curatorial role; while interesting, i don't think it helps the case here.
- She will also participate in the prestigious Venice Biennale where she will exhibit 'Nervous Organ'[9] and 'Border Line',[10] two installations using art videos, sensors, 3D printed images. -- https://uk.linkedin.com/in/orly-aviv-9898331a indicates this took place at European Culture Center , Palazzo Mora which is a known vanity exhibition.
Essentially, this rides on whether the Israel Cultural Ministry Prize which I was able to document at the link in the page [2] alone establishes notability. Given that it was essentially a politicized award that appears to have only been given a couple of years during that culture minister's tenure, and which does not appear on the internet except in people's CVs, I would say no. But I welcome others, especially fluent Hebrew speakers, who may be able to do deeper research than I. But please be conscious of the Vanity factor, some of which I have listed here: User:Theredproject/Predatory Exhibitions and Vanity Galleries... also it references saatchiart.com!
