Lena Henke
Lena Henke: An Idea of Late German Sculpture; To the People of New York, 2018
2 Mar – 13 May 2018
Kunsthalle Zürich

1/10

The heart of Lena Henke’s exhibition at the Kunsthalle Zürich is a machine. With a winch set into the walls of the exhibition space, large pieces of chain mail are pulled through the room. However, this material made of aluminum rings does not protect virile bodies in close combat. Instead, it glides across the surfaces of sculptures, sometimes setting them in motion.
