ENTANGLEMENTS

Textile traditions and manufacturing run through the Chemnitz region like a thread. Stretching into 1994, Flöha was a major textile hub. During the GDR, thousands of workers would pass through the train station every day on their way to the factories. Newly renovated for the cultural capital, the train station will become a scene of entanglements. Works of modern and contemporary art will be shown in the context of textiles, featuring artists: Antje Engelmann, Katharina Fritsch, Hermann Glöckner, Renate Göritz, Käthe Kollwitz, Helga Paris, Judith Raum, Reinhard Mucha, Rosemarie Trockel, Franz Erhard Walther – and curated by Susanne Weiß and Inka Gressel. In a rare collaboration, ifa Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen has partnered with the municipality of Flöha and Deutsche Bahn to realize this exhibition.
