Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. Wilhelm Lehmbruck Award Winner of the City of Duisburg and the Landschaftsverband Rheinland 2020 Roland Wetzel

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller achieved worldwide fame with their expansive sound works. The Canadian artist couple has succeeded in transferring the world of sounds, voices and music into sculpture, thus shaping a new genre. In 2020, they were awarded the prestigious Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize for their innovative life's work, in which the boundaries between sound art, radio play, concert, cinema and theater dissolve. With texts by Söke Dinkla, Stefan Trinks and Ronja Friedrichs, personal statements by companions of the artist couple and a rich illustration, the catalog gives a deep insight into their work. Supplemented by sketches, video stills, and QR codes, the multimedia work is brought to life.
