The exhibition presents new works by by the recipients of the ars viva award 2016, Flaka Haliti, Hanne Lippard, and the duo Calla Henkel & Max Pitegoff, produced specifically for the spaces at Index. The ars viva prize for visual arts has been awarded to emerging artists since 1953 by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI (Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries) and is one of the most prestigious awards for young artists in Europe. While not selected thematically, biography and an investigation of contemporary subjectivity in relation to present-day social and political conditions are important aspects of the artists’ work. They all share a consciousness about the different roles that artists inhabit today, and furthermore, an interest in critically investigating these roles and their relationship to economy and power.
