Lara Schnitger at Anton Kern Gallery

Thu, Jan 1  1970

Anton Kern Gallery presents a solo exhibition with Lara Schnitger, whose works are characterized by an inventive use of fabrics. She uses various types of textiles to create intimate sculptures as well as architectural installations. Despite their monumentality, Schnitger’s works appear neat, almost weightless. She plays with themes of humor, politics and eroticism without being ideologically driven. Read more here.
