Tekst achterflap

With her participatory installation We Make Years Out of Hours, Lina Lapelyte transforms the historic hall of Hamburger Bahnhof into a space for collective action and singing as part of the second CHANEL Commission. Lapelyte is known for her meditative works, which combine sound, rituals and collaborative practice. We Make Years Out of Hours is a living monument to time, care and coexistence. The exhibition transcends boundaries between sculpture and performance, the individual and the collective. By actively involving the audience, the participatory format emphasises the concept of the open museum as the theme of the Hamburger Bahnhof's 30th anniversary. The CHANEL Commission at Hamburger Bahnhof is an annual initiative that enables artists to realise large-scale projects. This is the 19th in a series of publications accompanying solo exhibitions of contemporary artists at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. In addition to exhibition views and images of artworks, it comprises a curatorial intro duction by Sam Bardaouil, an extensive interview by Raimundas Malašauskas with Lina Lapelyte, poems by Defne Ayas, Lucia Pietroiusti and Asia Bazdyrieva as well as the libretto for the performances.
