CHANEL Commission: Klára Hosnedlová. embrace
In the organizer's words:
Klára Hosnedlová's monumental installation for the CHANEL Commission in the historic hall of the Hamburger Bahnhof revolves around home, utopias and everyday life in different political systems. Hosnedlová's largest expansive, sculptural scenery to date is created from tapestries up to nine meters high, site-specific objects, organic-looking reliefs and large-scale embroideries. The embroidery templates are film and video recordings of performative interventions staged by the artist in Berlin. The content is based on architecture, films and novels that characterize the cultural memory of the last centuries in border regions of today's Czech Republic.
"embrace" at Hamburger Bahnhof is Klara Hosnedlová's largest institutional solo exhibition to date. In the industrial architecture of the museum's historic hall, the artist creates a utopian landscape of flax fibers, embroidery, cast glass, sandstone, clay, iron and concrete slabs. The focus is on rural areas of today's Czech Republic characterized by artisanal and industrial production processes as well as national border shifts. Concrete slabs and iron walls cite the architecture of the communist era, for example. With Hosnedlová (born 1990), Hamburger Bahnhof is once again presenting a young artist in the main hall who is expanding the boundaries of sculpture with a site-specific installation.
