Birgit Jürgenssen Prize

Deadline: Tuesday, Jan 14, 2020, 11:00am

The Birgit Jürgenssen Prize will again be awarded to an enrolled student of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna for a media artwork, under particular consideration of works of artistic photography, video or (digital) media art. The prize is endowed with 5,000 euros and an exhibition at the Academy.

As a teacher and member of various academic boards, Birgit Jürgenssen (1949–2003) was closely bound up with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and, throughout many years, had a determining influence on the institution. From the early 1980s on, she was involved in establishing an interdisciplinary platform forging a link between painting and photography in the context of the master class of Arnulf Rainer and, subsequently, that of Peter Kogler. Until her untimely end, the relationship and contact with her students remained a crucial concern for her as a teacher.
