We are honored that the team and the work of "Art in Networks: The GDR and its Global Relations" were awarded the Deubner Project Prize of the German Association for Art History (Deutscher Verband für Kunstgeschichte), which was received on behalf of the team by Nora Kaschuba and Jule Lagoda. The prize is awarded biennally by the Dr. Peter Deubner Foundation. The award ceremony took place during the opening evening of the 37th German Congress for Art History in the Audimax of the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen.
"Art in Networks" was a research project funded by the European Social Fund for Germany (01.02.2022 - 31.12.2022), which was dedicated to researching the international relations of the GDR in the field of visual arts. With a focus on video interviews, subjective memories of contemporary witnesses are made visible and audible on a digital platform and bear witness to the diverse forms of international exchange. The platform continues to exist through the follow-up project "Affective Archives – Artists’ Travels Abroad during the GDR": https://artinnetworks.webspace.tu-dresden.de/en
The team of the project included Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schankweiler, Pauline Hohn, Nora Kaschuba, Jule Lagoda and Elke Neumann supported by Anja Degner, Saskia Jungmann, Janine Kläffling and Laura-Maria Schulze.
