Anna Jermolaewa, Vienna, 10 June 2020
“I don´t car so much about techniques; it always begins with an idea.”
It was five times that Anna Jermolaewa applied for admission to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. “That was fortunate,” remarks the 2020 Austrian Art Prize recipient, who became a master of supremely nimble-footed conceptual art in what was then Peter Kogler’s studio at the Academy following classical training in Russia, emigration quite early on, and several efforts to escape from the artistic.
A conversation about wanderlust, cats, those lucky decisions to turn on a video camera, and long-term research in comparison to which “doing” goes relatively fast.
