Edition
Lena Henke, Totem and Tabu, 2018


Lena Henke is a sculptor and lives in New York. She moved into her temporary studio in the Sitterwerk’s large project studio at the end of August 2017 and meticulously and with ever greater concentration worked on developing her solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Zürich (An Idea of Late German Sculpture; To the People of New York, March 3 – May 13, 2018).
Born in Warburg in 1982, Lena Henke studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from 2004 to 2010. Her sculptural works are made from a wide range of materials and preferably conceived as large-scale installations. Urban and spatial planning theories, relationship systems as well as recurring form elements such as horse and female bodies often play a decisive role in them.
