GEORGIA SAGRI GEORGIA SAGRI

at Kunstverein Braunschweig, Germany (2/12/17 - 11/2/18)

The exhibition Georgia Sagri Georgia Sagri goes beyond a display of the artist’s works (b. 1979, Athens, Greece). The sculptures exist for the duration of the exhibition as guests, independent units within the building, without simply adjusting to the space. The exhibition consists of seven large sculptures from the last eight years of Georgia Sagri’s multidisciplinary practice. Some are manifested or announced with the dispersed looking like outdoor signs, destabilizing the sense of reading not only as knowledge, but also as declaration. Curated by Christina Lenhert.
