Animal art up close: Kendra Haste enchants Büdelsdorf!

Büdelsdorf, Deutschland - In the Büdelsdorf iron art museum, an exhibition by the British artist Kendra Haste is currently taking place, which is already known for its unique wire objects in the art scene. Haste, born in 1971, has created eleven impressive animal sculptures made of sharp -edged rabbit wire, which can be seen until November 2, 2023. Her work is not only popular in Great Britain, but also in the USA and Asia, and are given constant attention in London, in striking places such as the Tower and the Waterloo Station. The museum describes the current works as "Perfect Match", which reflects the complementarity to the museum's cast iron exhibits, which are contrasting to haste filigree wire sculptures.

Kendra Haste uses gray wire in her artistic work, which is symbolic of the deprivation of freedom. This choice of material and the technical implementation enable it to integrate meaning and emotions into the animal representations. In addition to the animal sculptures, the details such as the ears of a lynx and the antlers of a red deer, the landing eagle stands out as an outstanding work. This was created over a period of two months and illustrated Had's sophisticated technology, in which a steel core is surrounded by a multi -layer wire mesh.

thematization of humans and animals

A central concern of the exhibition is the topic of the relationship between humans and animals. Haste, who grew up in London and whose access to nature and wildlife was limited, also addresses the decline in biodiversity and ecological crises in their work. She wants to capture the emotional essence of the animals in her static 3-D forms, which she succeeds in overlap by layers of wire. This technique allows the expressiveness of the animals to strengthen and encourage visitors to reflect on the place of animals in our society.

The show is not only an aesthetic experience, but also an invitation to deal with the perception of animals over time. Visitors to the exhibition have the opportunity to contact their thoughts and emotions about the artistic representations with the real challenges and relationship with nature. The director of the museum, Thorsten Sadowsky, invites the audience to experience the "exploration of the three -dimensional drawing" by haste's sculptures.

opening times and guided tours

The exhibition is open on Tuesdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry costs 6 euros, reduced 4 euros. For those who want to dive deeper into the matter, the first tour will take place on Sunday, June 1st, at 2 p.m., which will offer an exclusive discussion about the artistic intention and the topics shown.

Haste's sculptures in the iron art museum are part of a larger trend that promotes animal sculptures in public space. Similar to Berlin, where numerous animal representations enrich the public space, haste's work also shows a close connection to the art and the perception of animal world by humans. This development makes it clear that animals are an integral part of our lives and have always played an important role in art history. It is part of a tradition that goes back to cave painting and which is interpreted with new, modern materials today.
