Every two years in Berlin, the Preis der Nationalgalerie award is given to young artists who have an extraordinary influence on German contemporary art and promote the new artistic approach.
This year, the international jury has chosen the following artists: Lamin Fofana, Calla Henkel & Max Pitegoff, Sandra Mujinga und Sung Tieu. The nominated artists address topics such as movement and migration, belonging and alienation, self-perception and external perceptions of the self, shifting logics of public and private space, as well as the potential of sound and music to act as a social force.
