Andrea Pichl Wins Ernst-Franz-Vogelmann-Preis for Sculpture
Andrea Pichl, a conceptual and installation artist from Berlin with an East German background, is the first artist from the former GDR to receive the Ernst-Franz-Vogelmann-Preis for Sculpture, endowed with €30,000. Her current exhibition "deutsch deutsch" at Kunsthalle Heilbronn presents a disturbing and fascinating journey into petit-bourgeois paradise politics across three chapters. The display features three houses per floor placed closely and eerily side by side. Pichl follows in the footsteps of previous winners such as Roman Signer, Franz Erhard Walther, Ayşe Erkmen, and Gregor Schneider, who expanded the concept of sculpture and the body in space. The exhibition is described as unsettling, fascinating, repulsive, and captivating simultaneously.
