SUMMARY:Kira Freije: Unspeak the Chorus a curator-led tour
DESCRIPTION:in collaboration with Modern Art Oxford\nKira Freije’s quietly compelling sculptures are bringing new life to the art world – British Vogue\nFor her first major solo exhibition in the UK, Kira Freije (b. 1985, London) has created a new body of work comprising around 20 life-size figures, in various states off action, arranged in small groupings. The groupings suggest narrative fragments, or interior states of mind, and evoke a time and place without specifically referencing a history or geography.\nVisitors this evening will walk amongst the figures, sensing the emotionally charged space enhanced through atmospheric lighting design and hand-blown glass lamps created by Freije and lighting design by Matt Daw.\nTo create her figures, Freije casts her own hands and feet in aluminium, building her metal sculptures from the feet upwards, welding together stainless steel strips like a pencil outline to create their forms. To these, Freije adds faces, or parts of faces, cast from people who are important in her life, as well as fabric and found materials such as brass and copper to complete the materially-rich whole.\nKira Freije is co-commissioned by The Hepworth Wakefield and Modern Art Oxford, in collaboration with the KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin. With generous support from The Foundation Foundation, Emma and Fred Goltz, and The Kira Freije Exhibition Circle.\n \n
