Angela Dorrer earned several Academy prizes, a ‘Projektstipendium’ of the city of Munich, the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst / German Academic exchange service) Scholarship for Los Angeles and a stipendium Museumsquartier Vienna. In 2000 she cofounded and co-curated the Program Angels at lothringer13 – an interdisciplinary team that operates a performance and exhibition space for the city of Munich (2000-2005).
