until 20.05. | #5044ARTatBerlin | Gallery Dittmar shows from Friday, 1. May 2026 the exhibition „Beyond Photography“ by the artist Katja Liebmann.
Katja Liebmann, born in Halle an der Saale in 1965, studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, the Berlin University of the Arts, and the Royal College of Art in London. She first attracted attention in the mid-1990s with her series “Gotham City,” which was acquired by the Saatchi Collection in 1998. That same year, she was nominated for the Citibank Photography Prize (Deutsche Börse Photography Prize). During her studies at the Royal College of Art from 1997 to 1998, she undertook a research and teaching residency at the State University of New York. She then taught at the London College of Printing and Camberwell College of Art until 2000. In 2000, she received a grant from the Hasselblad Foundation in Gothenburg, which included an exhibition. That same year, she moved to Berlin and continued working on her series of images, “Walking Across a Bridge,” which she had begun developing in 1997 and which combines film and photographic techniques.
In 2001, she exhibited her “Berlin Ornaments” series at the Goethe-Institut in London, a continuation of her “London Ornaments” project. In 2002, she participated in the exhibition “Landscapes” at the Saatchi Gallery in London, alongside artists such as Carroll Dunham, Tracy Emin, and David Salle. Since 2003, she has been a lecturer in artistic printmaking at the University of Oldenburg. From 2007 onward, she created the “Travel Pictures,” followed by further major series of works on nature, the seascapes, and the “Winter Journey” by 2010. Based on earlier photographic material, she realized representative series about London and New York, such as “Dust in the Wind.” In 2024, a retrospective exhibition was held at the State Museum of Art and Culture in Oldenburg, accompanied by a publication. The art collection of the German Bundestag and the State Museum of Art and Culture in Oldenburg acquired her work.
