Nadia Lichtig Explained

Nadia Lichtig (born 1973) is an artist currently living in the South of France. In her multilayered work, voice is transposed into various media including painting, print, sculpture, photography, performance, soundscape and song.[1] A monograph on Lichtig's work, Pictures of Nothing, was published by Kerber Verlag in 2014.[2]

Early life and education

Lichtig was born in 1973 in Munich, Germany; her parents were of Czech and Serb descent. Lichtig studied at the University of the Arts Paris. Having grown up between several countries and languages, Nadia Lichtig studied linguistics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany, and sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, France with Jean-Luc Vilmouth, where she graduated with honours in 2001, before assisting Mike Kelley in Los Angeles the same year.[3]

Work

In her works, each medium approached not as a field to be mastered, but as a source of possibilities to question our ability to decipher the present. Visual and aural aspects entangle in her performances. Lichtig taught at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore, India as a visiting professor in 2006, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of the Valence in 2007, and since 2009, is professor of Fine Arts at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-arts of Montpellier, France. She has collaborated with musicians who are also visual artists, such as Bertrand Georges (audible), Christian Bouviou (Popopfalse), Nicole (La Chatte), Nina Canal (Ut) and Michael Moorley (the dead C). Lichtig worked and works under several group names and pseudonyms including: EchoparK, Falseparklocation, Skrietch, Ghosttrap and Nanana.

Lichtig's collaborative work in Drift: Art and Dark Matter, was reviewed in the publication, Symmetry magazine.[4]
