Nora Mona Bach
Art Prize of the State of Saxony-Anhalt 2024
Opening: 14 May 2025
Since 2024, the Art Prize of the State of Saxony-Anhalt has been awarded alternately every two years to a young artist or to honour a life's work. In 2024, Burg alumna Nora Mona Bach was honoured with the prize.
The jury emphasised: ‘Despite using the traditional medium of drawing, Nora Mona Bach positions herself unmistakably in the context of contemporary art. Many of her works look like film stills or blurred shots of crime scenes, of places of remembrance. Against the backdrop of the energy transition, coal as a material has become a political issue and allows for numerous associations, which the artist - who comes from the lignite mining region of Saxony - consciously utilises.’
A large survey exhibition is planned in the Burg Galerie im Volkspark. Nora Mona Bach studied graphic art at the BURG from 2006 to 2012 in the class of Prof Thomas Rug and subsequently completed a postgraduate course with him.
