Lena Henke: Horizontale & Vertikale Skulptur

Lena Henke: Horizontale & Vertikale Skulptur

Opening Friday, 2 May, 7 to 9 PM 3
ay to 14 June 2025

Lena Henke shows two new sculptures at Galerie Thomas Schulte for Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025. In a site-specific treatment of the Corner Space, a towering horse hoof has set its footprint down on the floors of what was once the earliest fashion department store in Berlin.

Synthesizing an archaic formal language with contemporary production techniques, Henke probes the genealogies of sculptural history, mining the haptic and experiential. She confronts traditional sculptural conventions—from the Renaissance figure to the designed readymade— critically examining the patriarchal structures embedded within them.
