Nadia Lichtig is French-German artist working across painting, sound, photography, performance, and writing. Her practice focuses on the relationship between image and sound: she work with voice —humain, instrumental, artificial ; recorded, transmitted, translated, imagined — as a material for visual composition. Drawing on testimonies, fragmentary narratives, and field recordings, I create open-ended series that shift between mediums and formats.
Lichtig studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in Jean-Luc Vilmouth’s studio, garduating with honors, and worked as Mike Kelley’s assistant in Los Angeles. Since 2001, she has shown my work under her own name, working and collaborating also since and currently in parallel under pseudonyms and group names. Professor in expanded painting at MO.CO. Esba (Montpellier) since 2009, she is also pursuing research at Aix-Marseille University since 2018. Her work and research is regularly exhibited and published in France and abroad, and included in public and private collections.
Nadia Lichtig is this year's laureate of the Arts & Sciences residency 'Quantum Studio' at UBC, Vancouver:
