Hanne Friis: Contemporary Craft
27 Nov, 2024 - 27 Apr, 2025
Organic shapes meet up with bright, vibrant colours and industrially manufactured functional textiles: The MK&G is presenting the first solo exhibition in Germany devoted to the Norwegian textile artist Hanne Friis. The third show in the 鈥淐ontemporary Craft鈥� series provides an overview of the artist鈥檚 work featuring 19 sculptural pieces that include expansive objects made of latex, silk, velvet, wool and Gore-Tex as well as new textile works made especially for the exhibition. With what she calls 鈥淪oft Sculptures鈥�, Hanne Friis is redefining the medium. Her objects seem to grow out of the wall and floor like living, organic structures, often changing shape over time. In addition, Friis鈥檚 practice is defined by special working methods and high-quality craftsmanship. The artist folds and compresses the fabric by hand, finishing the pieces with nylon thread stitching.
