Gosia Lehmann (Poland/Germany) is an artist, who works in a research driven approach. Using techniques from film-making and theatre, she explores the interdependent relationship between fact and belief and how arbitrary the distinction between them can be. Staging, re-enacting and performing magic-tricks are her tools to investigate the subjectivity of ‘knowing’.
Gosia is a guest lecturer at Visual Communication and Art and Media departments at University of Arts in Berlin. Her works have been shown among other venues at CYENS Excellence Center in Nicosia, Good Design Week in Tokyo, Klassik Stiftung in Weimar and following venues in Berlin: Natural History Museum, Akademie der Künste and Künstraum Kreuzberg and Bärenzwinger. In 2020 she participated in Goldrausch Female Artist Program, she was awarded a Stiftung Kunstfonds grant in 2022 and first prize Hosek Contemporary Award in 2023, among others.
During her time at Rupert she will continue her research on ‘economic shamanism’ (a term she uses to describe the black magic of the world of finances, which includes economic paradoxes, value fabrication and offshore money ‘disappearing’) and develop riddles, characters and scenography for her performance called ‘Dilemma’.
