Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin with Klára Hosnedlová
For this edition, we visited the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover to meet Klára Hosnedlová. In collaboration with the Kestner Gesellschaft, she prepared her first institutional solo exhibition 'To Infinity'. Let’s introduce you to her work.
Klára Hosnedlová was born in the Czech Republic and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno. She lives and works in Berlin. Her work combines craft, fashion, design, architecture, sculpture and performance. She uses these tools to create immersive environments that explore the uncertainties of the post-industrial world. Her work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including X Museum, Beijing (2022), at the Art Basel Parcours, Basel (2021) or at the Baltic Triennial 14: The Endless Frontier, Vilnius (2021).
The exhibition To Infinity at the Kestner Gesellschaft is her first institutional solo show and has become the Kestner Gesellschaft's most ambitious project for the season. We spoke to the artist herself, the in-house curator Alexander Wilmschen and the director of the Kestner Gesellschaft Adam Budak about the show.
