lara verena bellenghi

Lara Verena Bellenghi (*1991, Vienna) studied Fine Art at Oxford University and completed her MA in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. She is currently based in Vienna, pursuing her artistic practice and working for the education department of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Rooted in the ambivalence of multilingualism as a source of both vulnerability and creativity, Lara explores the reverberations brought by limits in translation and the omission of information. As such, restitution forms the thematic core of her practice with sites and objects charged with socio-historical phenomena frequently providing points of departure.
