Exhibition: Verstrickungen - Ten positions from the ifa art collection

Location

entrance free

Textile traditions and production are a common thread running through the region around Chemnitz. Flöha was an important textile centre until 1994, and in GDR times thousands of workers passed through the station every day on their way to the factories. Now the railway station, which has been renovated for the Capital of Culture, will become the setting for “Verstrickungen” ("Entanglements"). On display are works of modern and contemporary art in the context of textiles: artists include Antje Engelmann, Katharina Fritsch, Hermann Glöckner, Renate Göritz, Käthe Kollwitz, Helga Paris, Judith Raum, Reinhard Mucha, Rosemarie Trockel and Franz Erhard Walther. Curated by Susanne Weiß and Inka Gressel. The Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen ifa is cooperating with the municipality of Flöha and Deutsche Bahn to realise this exhibition.
