Curatorial context

The Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2024 exhibition presents the distinct artistic voices of its two esteemed prize-winners: Rawan Almukhtar and Ida Kammerloch. This annual award aims to support and promote emerging artists based in Vienna, fostering discourse on contemporary art through a collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The exhibition highlights Almukhtar's multi-part installation 'HIJRA – Queering Borders' and 'DUKHANIA – The Protesting Archive,' which draws inspiration from refugee experiences and activism to explore overlooked narratives. Kammerloch's contribution includes the video installation 'ULTRA ALL INCLUSIVE,' which delves into her family history and the complex interrelationships between global capitalism and Russian national identity, using archival footage from post-Soviet Russia. Both artists were awarded a €3,000 prize and a production budget for their featured works. The exhibition is curated by Hannah Marynissen and is accompanied by a publication featuring texts by Alicja Melzacka and Rijin Sahakian. The juries, composed of representatives from the involved universities, Kunsthalle Wien, and external curators, selected these artists to showcase their innovative approaches to critical contemporary issues, offering a platform for their significant contributions to the art world.
