Kunsthal KAdE toont vanaf 1 februari 2025 een grote solotentoonstelling van Mona Hatoum (1952) met werk dat haar hele carrière omspant: van het performance- en videowerk uit de jaren 1980 tot recente sculpturen en installaties.
The artist - born in Lebanon as the daughter of Palestinian exiles - has lived in London since 1975, building a body of work that revolves around the tension between home, displacement and exile. Everyday objects come under power, the globe becomes a buzzing red neon map and glass forms are trapped inside cage-like structures. With a minimalist aesthetic and poetic use of the everyday, Mona Hatoum manages to transform themes of global conflict into imaginative sculptures and installations.
