BARBARA KAPUSTA IS THE WINNER OF THE 40TH OTTO MAUER PRIZE
Gianni Manhattan is pleased to announce that Barbara Kapusta has been awarded the 40th Otto Mauer Prize.

A central element in Barbara Kapusta’s (* 1983, Lower Austria) objects, films, video installations and text-based works is the connection of the body with materiality and language. “In my films and video installations, performances, and object and text-related works, I speak about utopias of community, of bodies and figures. Utopias that spring from my fiction and our reality at the same time. I am concerned with the question of how fiction can initiate an alternative world in the sense of social blueprints and which standardization and politicization processes are necessary in order for them to become part of our reality. ” - Barbara Kapusta

From February 5 to March 16, 2021, Otto Mauer Prize winner Barbara Kapusta will present selected works in the Jesuitenfoyer, Bäckerstraße 18, 1010 Vienna. The opening will take place on Thursday, February 4, 2021 at 7.30 pm.
