The Follow Fluxus – Fluxus and the Consequences grant, awarded for the seventeenth consecutive year by the City of Wiesbaden and the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden, goes to Lola Göller (*1983, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) in 2024.

The grant was initiated in 2008 and has since aimed to support international artists who engage with and further develop the ideas of Fluxus in their work. In addition to a prize of €10,000, the grant includes a three-month residency in the Hessian state capital and a solo exhibition at the Kunstverein (2025/26).

The 2024 five-member jury consisted of Jana Dennhard / Research Associate, Museum Wiesbaden, Elmar Hermann / Visual Artist, Michael Berger / Fluxus Collector and Patron, Wiesbaden, Monique Behr / Consultant for Visual Arts, Cultural Office of the City of Wiesbaden, and Lotte Dinse / Director, Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden.

The jury unanimously selected Lola Göller from 56 nominations, justifying their decision as follows: Lola Göller's artistic practice encompasses sculptures, performances, installations, and videos. Her interdisciplinary approach demonstrates a keen sense of media reflection and a continuous engagement with the perception and construction of identity, memory, and reality. Göller explores themes and phenomena often found at the margins of societal perception and discourse. She investigates unconventional ways of living, social and cultural dynamics, everyday phenomena, and mythological constructions. The jury was particularly impressed by the complexity of her works, which provoke critical reflection on contemporary social, political, and technological circumstances. She skillfully challenges the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, actively engaging the audience.

Lola Göller will begin her residency in Wiesbaden in mid-June 2025. The exhibition will be on view at the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden from November 2025 to May 2026.

About the Artist /
Lola Göller (*1983 in Frankfurt am Main, lives in Berlin) completed her studies at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2012 as a master student of Professor Gregor Schneider. Her work has been exhibited worldwide, including at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art Copenhagen, Kunstverein Tiergarten Berlin, Doza Gallery Sofia, Staatstheater Kassel, Parque Cultural de Valparaíso, Kunstverein Wagenhallen Stuttgart, and Knockdown Center New York.

Her sculptures and immersive audiovisual installations engage with societal and architectural fringe phenomena. She examines and archives imitations and blatant copies, questioning their structural, conceptual, and emotional aspects in terms of function and impact. On a creative level, she utilizes the human voice—often her own—as a complementary, contrasting, or narrative element. She frequently expands her bodies of work with radio plays, performances, and multimedia, multisensory, performative lectures.

The grant is made possible by the Cultural Office of the City of Wiesbaden.
