All together?

"I investigate mechanisms of collectivization." Lena Biesalski's ceramic works can be described as artistic social research. She translates pictorially what happens when people meet: Attraction, repulsion, repression and adaptation. Her vessels become a canvas on which she draws and scratches geometric patterns. Detached from the vessel, she also makes sculptural, free works - "Populations and Collectives" - from porcelain, stoneware and cellulose paper.
