Intro

This year's winner of the prestigious Zurich Art Prize deals with the conception and materiality of spaces in his multifaceted work.

The Zurich Art Prize, awarded annually by Museum Haus Konstruktiv and Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, goes to Olaf Holzapfel (*1967 in Dresden, lives and works in Berlin and Brandenburg) in 2024. He is the 17th winner of the prestigious award. The prize, endowed with CHF 100,000, consists of a budget of CHF 80,000 for the production of a solo exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv and a prize money of CHF 20,000.

In his multifaceted work, Olaf Holzapfel deals with the conception and materiality of spaces. After focusing in particular on megalopolises and their relationship to virtual space in the noughties - he observed a relationship between grids of urban structures and digital grids on the Internet - his interest increasingly shifted to the physical-material place. Since then, Holzapfel has been looking for ways to artistically dissolve dualities such as city and landscape, interior and exterior or virtual and real pictorial spaces and to describe them as something fluid. This results in a constant exchange between these forces. Intercultural exchange with artists and craftspeople and the use of vernacular techniques are central to his work. For over ten years, Holzapfel has been working with weavers from the Wichí community in the Gran Chaco in Argentina and with carpenters from Lower Saxony, for example, who implement his designs using natural and local materials such as wood, straw or natural fibers.
