Lorena Herrera Rashid: 360° + 5 días

The new art season will be kicked off with the exhibition 360° + 5 días by Lorena Herrera Rashid, on view on the gallery’s ground floor space. Four years ago, the sculptor relocated to her home country of Mexico, where she now lives and works. She still explores themes of consumerism and the problems of mass production, but her change in perspective clearly elicits new facets in her oeuvre. Color is now foregrounded. Consumer relics made of plastic, paper, textiles, and other debris from the prevalent throwaway society remain her materials of choice. A certain levity in the artist’s approach transforms this otherwise disquieting subject into a collection of delightful objects.

 With 360° + 5 días Lorena Herrera Rashid has created a stand-alone cosmos where Mother Earth - composed of a globe, bottle holders, plastic buckets, and used clothes - is decorated with twisting plastic flowers and paper fruit.
