Congratulations from the
Angewandte!
Alisa Omelianceva has been awarded the Ö1 Talent Scholarship
for Fine Arts 2023, endowed with 10,000 euros. Born in 1997, the artist is interested in "a body that is vulnerable and endangered,
a body whose fleeting presence is only visible through layers, traces and surfaces that linger between digital and material
space" in her work between sculpture, drawing, installation, performance and photography, it was announced yesterday.
Omelianceva is studying Transdisciplinary Art at the University of Applied Arts. "In different spatial scales, Alisa Omelianceva
examines the absent human body, which is reflected in her hardened, sterile surfaces," the jury statement said.
The Ö1 Audience Award went to Carlos Vergara. Born in 1989, the artist is studying Fine Arts - Photography at the University
of Applied Arts Vienna. His work, which ranges from photography, collage and sculpture to installations, focuses on the transformative
potential of memories, longings and questions of identity.
The awards ceremony took place yesterday evening at
the Leopold Museum in Vienna. The exhibition "Habitat" with contributions by the nominees can also be seen there until January
14.
