The MK&G in Hamburg presents the first solo exhibition in Germany devoted to the Norwegian textile artist Hanne Friis (b. 1972). The third show in the “Contemporary Craft” series provides an overview of the artist’s work featuring 19 sculptural pieces made of latex, silk, velvet, wool and Gore-Tex as well as new textile works made especially for the exhibition. Friis "soft scultpures" seem to grow out of the wall and floor like living, organic structures, often changing shape over time. Her practice is defined by special working methods and high-quality craftsmanship; each sculpture is folded, compressed, and sewn by hand.
