Awards (selection)

“The artist Ulrike Grossarth receives the Käthe-Kollwitz-Preis 2009. She dedicates herself again and again to the relationship between the material environment and the acting person in artistic works, in dances and solo pieces, video films, drawings and performances. Photographic evidence by Stefan Kiełsznia on Jewish life in Lublin from 1938 prompted Ulrike Grossarth to create works that gave her exhibition the title: Szeroka 28. A European Space of Remembrance. Your work brings us step by step the socio-political conditions of the missed, but not lost understanding with things as the basis of our view and the design of a future. "
