At the heart of Hella Jongerius’s artistic practice is the connection between industry and craft as well as traditional knowledge and technology. In spring 2021, the Gropius Bau will present a solo exhibition devoted to the artist and designer that will continue to develop over the course of time.
In Hella Jongerius’s work, weaving plays a
significant role – as one of the oldest cultural technologies, while also at
the root of digital code. Entitled "Woven Cosmos", the exhibition uses interactive
elements to engage visitors in the artist’s open-ended, process-oriented
techniques, encouraging a critical examination of issues around production and
sustainability, present and future.
Apart from Jongerius’s research into innovation and her progressive
experimental practices, the exhibition highlights her ongoing enquiry into how
we relate to objects – and how they can heal us.
The show is entwined with the history of the Gropius Bau, which was
once a Museum and School of the Decorative Arts with its own workshops, a place
where art and craft came together. In that tradition, Hella Jongerius will
bring her Studio Jongeriuslab to the Gropius Bau to produce new works in the
months leading up to the exhibition.
