Thun promotes Lisa Mark

The city is honoring sound artist Lisa Mark (*1996) with a cultural promotion prize of CHF 5000. Mark completed a degree in Sound Arts and Contemporary Arts Practice at Bern University of the Arts. She impressed the jury "with her versatility". In her art practice, she moves between sound arts, visual arts and music, writes the city of Thun. In her interdisciplinary practice, she "explores sound and conscious listening with sensitivity", summarizes the jury.

The cultural prizes of the City of Thun are awarded on the recommendation of the Cultural Commission, while the cultural promotion prizes are awarded by the Cultural Promotion Prize Jury. Both committees are chaired by Councillor Katharina Ali-Oesch. The prize money comes from the Heinrich and Martha Streuli Fund, while the cultural promotion prizes have been sponsored by the Amtsanzeiger Verwaltungskreis Thun municipal association since 2004.
