Lichter Art Award

This year the 16th The LICHTER ART AWARD exhibition will present the works by Alisa Berger with her video work RAPTURE I - VISIT, which confronts us with the painful reality of war. She brings a victim back to the war crime scene in Ukraine using virtually reality. Lydia Marx with her video work LITTLE PICTURES introduces us to a family in which one of the members is a drone that acts as a narrator, sibling, friend and creator of their own memories. Maria Mayland with her work A wideness, opening and closing, take us into an intimate domestic space while letting us listen to a conversation about the possibility and impossibility of queer historiography, aesthetics and incoherence, Kurt Cobain and Trans*atlantis. Artūras Ustinovas' performative video work Father Says is about a father and son's strenuous relationship. It reveals all the things that a father always, presumably, thought about his son but never said. 工 - Force Times Displacement by Angel Wu is an thoughtful choreographed video animation which take us in mental journey in so many directions, while questioning the meaning of our labor, and the reasons why we work at all.
