Acaye Kerunen and Bernhard Fuchs paired at Kunstmuseen Krefeld

The HLHE Dialog series at Kunstmuseen Krefeld, initiated in 2017, pairs artists and designers with conceptually related works across Haus Lange and Haus Esters. The latest iteration juxtaposes Bernhard Fuchs and Acaye Kerunen, whose practices, though visually distinct, both engage with ecological futures rooted in past traditions. Kerunen, a Ugandan visual artist, performance artist, author, therapist, and activist, creates sculptures and wall installations using natural materials like raffia, banana fiber, bark cloth, sisal, beads, and natural dyes, sourced from wetlands. Her work employs intergenerational techniques. The exhibition prompts reflection on what comes after art.
