Year of stay: | 2024 |
Lotti Brockmann is situated in Vienna and grew up on the ever-changing Wadden Sea in northern Germany. As a child, Lotti wanted to be an inventor, a comedian and a parachutist, but today she has found the one word that sums it all up.
As an artist, Lotti engages with materials on different levels and negotiates their supposed stability or seclusion. Her works refer to private and public historiographies, constructions such as nation states or other reference systems. Lotti is interested in dissolving the boundaries of the object-like, in which her works reflect the spatial conditions themselves or relate and interact with the viewer. Lotti is currently interested in the relationship between labour and monumentality, asking where the monumental begins and how the transfer between the popular and the imperial is organised.
She is currently studying sculpture/spatial strategies in the class of Prof. Iman Issa at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Lotti studies and has studied many different things within the Academia, but also through talking, experiencing and reflecting on emotions and feelings.
In 2021 Lotti was nominated for the Nordwestkunst Prize by Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven and in 2023 she received the Playground Art Prize under Nicolaus Schafhausen, Franciska Zólyom, Leonie Radine, Dr Florence Thurmes. Lotti has exhibited in Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. In November 2024 Lotti's artistic practice will be presented as a solo position at the Artissima Art Fair in Turin (IT).
