ursula blickle video prize 2008


Four years ago the ursula blickle videolounge emerged out of a longtime bond with the Kunsthalle Wien. With the aim of promoting young artists in her hometown, Ursula Blickle has created a platform in which different curators put together a monthly changing video program. Via screens at the Kunsthalle Wien and the University of applied arts, visitors can access an extensive archive of over 1,800 works from the 1960s to the present. In addition to the many international art videos the archive also provides an overview of the local video art scene in Austria.

The ursula blickle video prize is awarded annually in conjunction with the ursula blickle videolounge. It was presented for the fourth year in 2008, endowed for the first time with € 3,500. The prize is awarded to students of the University of applied arts, vienna, for outstanding artistic achievement in the medium of video.
