This Friday: Reception and Artist Talk for the opening of 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘪𝘴 / 𝘓𝘺𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴
September 13th, 5pm — 7pm
At 6pm, Hanne Friis will be joined by DJ Hellerman, Chief Curator of the Fabric Workshop and Museum @fabricworkshop for a discussion on her works in the show.
Considered one of the most influential Norwegian contemporary artists working with textiles today, Hanne Friis (b. 1972) began her visual art career in sculpture and painting, which she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Trondheim, Norway. Inspired by American sculptors, such as Eva Hesse and Lynda Benglis, and their experimentation with material and form, Friis’ hand-sewn textile sculptures challenge their own materiality and explore themes of transformation as well as topographies of the human body and natural world. She lives and works in Oslo, Norway and this will be her very first show in the US.
This event is free and open to all. Please RSVP using the link in our bio.
Copies of the 112-page exhibition catalogue with an essay by Amanda Gluibizzi @gluibizziak will also be available for purchase.
