H13 2023 – LOWER AUSTRIA PRIZE FOR PERFORMANCE

In 2023, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich awards the H13 – Lower Austria Prize for Performance for the 17th time. The ambition of the H13 Prize, which is awarded every fall , is to showcase the diversity and relevance of contemporary performance art and to make it accessible to a broader audience - in Austria and beyond. Furthermore, it should encourage a reflection on the conditions for the presentation of performance art within the exhibition context.

 

In its 17th edition, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich awards the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance for the first time in partnership with an art institution outside of Austria. With the goal to increase the visibility of the local performance art scene internationally and to make a lasting contribution to its advancement, this year, the H13 Prize will be awarded in partnership with Bergen Kunsthall in Norway. In addition to the prize money, the production of the awarded performance project as well as the accompanying exhibition in Vienna, the winners of the H13 Prize will have the opportunity to develop their practice further in a 2-week-stay at the  Live Studio at Bergen Kunsthall.

 

Bergen Kunsthall’s Live Studio is a new research and development space dedicated to live arts and hybrid practices within the context of visual arts. The professional technical equipment, the intensive exchange with Nora-Swantje Almes, curator of the live program at Bergen Kunsthall, as well as various networking opportunities on site provide excellent conditions to further develop one’s practice.
