Pan Daijing, Daniel Lie, Hanne Lippard and James Richards are awarded the Preis der Nationalgalerie, which, in 2024, is going to four artists for the first time. The new format of the prize takes up the idea of the exhibition as a collective exchange and aims to expand the collection through the purchase of four new pieces. The prize winners will produce four new works to be shown in a joint exhibi- tion at the Hamburger Bahnhof from April to September 2024.

Pan Daijing works with sound, performance, installation, choreography and film. Her practice is situated at the intersection of visual art and mu- sic. Influenced by improvisation and narrative elements, her works often have a performative starting point, though they move far beyond this in terms of their impact. They evince the artist’s intensely psychological sense of space.
Daniel Lie’s art explores questions about ecology and non-human life forms. Lie’s multi-sensory, evocative sculptural installations create atmos- pheres that are found nowhere else. The ephemeral materials used in the works of the trans/non-binary artist progressively alter the space, time and dynamics of any exhibition.
Hanne Lippard uses her voice as her primary artistic medium. Her sound sculptures surround visitors, creating minimalist but immersive encoun- ters. However, the calm impression her work gives does not belie the un- derlying voice that resolutely addresses political concerns.
Filmmaker James Richards combines experimental techniques with a sense of spatial arrangement. He negotiates questions of history and memory, of archives and conservation. His detailed works reveal a chore- ographic understanding of space, and of how people move through it.
The Preis der Nationalgalerie will be awarded for the twelfth time in 2024. Since 2000, the prize has been promoting recent, important positions in contemporary art that reflect the internationality and vitality of the art world in Germany and which have achieved eminence through the novelty of their approach. Artists who currently live and work in Germany and are no older than 40 years at the time of their nomination are eligible for the Preis der Nationalgalerie. In the previous editions, one artist from a shortlist ex- hibition was awarded the prize and subsequently given the opportunity to present a solo exhibition. Starting now, all four nominees will be presented in a group exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof, each showing a new work that is planned to be acquired for the collection of the Nationalgaler- ie. The prize aims to celebrate the diversity of artistic approaches and media that is characteristically found in contemporary art in particular. A contemporary form of collecting is exemplified here: in the creation of new works for the collection from out of a dialogue between artists and the in- stitution.
