Nadia Lichtig

In her works, each medium approached not as a field to be mastered, but as a source of possibilities to question our ability to decipher the present. Visual and aural aspects entangle in her performances. Lichtig taught at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore, India as a visiting professor in 2006, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of the Valence in 2007, and since 2009, is professor of Fine Arts at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-arts of Montpellier, France. She has collaborated with musicians who are also visual artists, such as Bertrand Georges (audible), Christian Bouviou (Popopfalse), Nicole (La Chatte), Nina Canal (Ut) and Michael Moorley (the dead C). Lichtig worked and works under several group names and pseudonyms including: EchoparK, Falseparklocation, Skrietch, Ghosttrap and Nanana.
