Klappentext

[ materialistin ]. Matter of Care, Care of Matter presents sculptures and site-specific installations by eight sculptors based in Leipzig: Laura Eckert, Enne Haehnle, Elisabeth Howey, Lucy König, Agnes Lammert, Wibke Rahn, Theresa Rothe and Sophie Uchman. The focus of [ materialistin ]'s work and practice lies in the expanded field of sculpture. The artists work with steel, stone, plaster and concrete, plant fibres and renewable raw materials, wax and clay. The group operates in solidarity and is not organised hierarchically. The members counter the physical, economic and logistical challenges in the field of sculpture by sharing experiential knowledge, tools, contacts and networks. The cross-generational structure represents a unique feature within the art world. [ materialistin ]'s group exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart highlights new forms of collective practice and solidarity. It is a statement that, in its anniversary year, extends far beyond the museum. This is the 20th in a series of publications accompanying exhibitions of contemporary artists at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. In addition to exhibition views and images of artworks, it comprises a curatorial introduction by Sam Bardaouil, a roundtable discussion with all artists moderated by Sarah Alberti and texts on the individual positions by Silvia Gaetti, Jenny Graser, Luisa Heese, Annabelle Hirsch, Annekathrin Kohout, Dietmar Rübel, Christian Schüle and Susanne Witzgall.
