Bern-born Sabina Lang and San Francisco-born Daniel Baumann will receive the Paul Boesch Art Prize 2024. The prize for fine arts is endowed with 50,000 Swiss francs.
With installations, sculptures, large-scale wall and floor paintings, inflatable structures and architectural interventions, the Lang/Baumann duo have been making a name for themselves for three decades. Their works are known for "questioning and changing the perception of public and private space", wrote the Kunstmuseum Bern in a press release on Thursday.
They became known on the Swiss art scene with two group exhibitions: "Nonchalance" at the Centre Pasqu'art in Biel (1997) and "Freie Sicht aufs Mittelmeer" at the Kunsthaus Zürich (1998).
The Paul Boesch Prize is named after the Bernese artist of the same name who, among other things, created the coat of arms of the canton of Jura. The highly endowed prize has been awarded annually since 2016. It is aimed at Swiss artists in the field of fine arts. The Lang/Baumann duo will be awarded the prize on August 28 at the Kunstmuseum Bern.
