Since January 2021, a final thesis from the field of fine arts has been awarded the Vanessa Preger-McGillivray Prize at the end of the winter semester. This is endowed with 3,000 euros and commemorates a student who was murdered in the terrorist attack in Vienna on November 2nd, 2020. Emma Kling’s “Painting fits perfectly in my mouth” convinced the jury this year with its examination of violent relationships. The prize will be presented tomorrow.
“Pictures regarding metamorphoses of images and their pictorial spaces, regarding the possibility and impossibility of transitions between image and reality. Canvas becomes painted material, layers of paint become feather bed, become skin, become bark, become scab,” the jury praised Kling’s work. As part of the sponsorship ceremony, the award winner will receive the award presented by the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the City of Vienna.
The winner of the prize was murdered in the terrorist attack in downtown Vienna on November 2, 2020, shortly following starting to study art at the Angewandte. Since then, the award named following her has underlined the potential of studying art, according to a press release from the Angewandte on Thursday. In this context, Rector Petra Schaper Rinkel emphasized the “visibility of a current artistic position that is currently unfolding”, while Vienna’s City Councilor for Culture Veronica Kaup-Hasler (SPÖ) spoke of a union of painful memories with the potential of the future.
