<\/div>[vc_column_text]The\u00a0second Silk Room exhibition<\/strong>,\u00a0When Animals Become Art. Leiko Ikemura at The Feuerle Collection<\/strong><\/em>, curated by\u00a0D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Feuerle<\/strong>, is on view from 7 July until 7\u00a0January,\u00a02023.<\/p>\n

A selection of works\u00a0by the\u00a0artist Leiko Ikemura<\/strong>, realised between 1990 and 2022, will be juxtaposed to personal cuddly toys\u00a0collected\u00a0by the artist, immersed in a refined, dreamlike light scenery, specially designed by\u00a0D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Feuerle\u00a0<\/strong>for the installation at The Feuerle Collection.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will symbolically bring into being an intimate and colourful nest, where precious animal sculptures, made of cast glass, glazed terracotta, patinated bronze or papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9, will interact with small plush creatures from a cosy domestic environment.<\/p>\n

Being one of the recurring themes chosen by Ikemura throughout her entire body of work, the representation of animals and animal-hybrids will carry the viewers into a secret world, leaving the door open for our fantasy to read possible symbols, metaphors, and enigmatic references to Japanese legends, and into the vibrant, pulsating creations of the artist.<\/p>\n

Leiko Ikemura was born in Tsu, in the\u00a0Mie Prefecture<\/strong>,\u00a0Japan<\/strong>, and she is currently\u00a0based in Berlin and Cologne<\/strong>, Germany.<\/p>\n

After studying in Japan and Spain, she\u00a0moved to Switzerland to pursue a career as a full-time artist and then to Germany, where she had her first solo show in Bonn, in 1983. A Swiss citizen, she has very early become a significant player of the Swiss and German art scenes, actively contributing to the cultural discourse, and teaching as a professor at the\u00a0Universit\u00e4t der K\u00fcnste<\/strong>, Berlin, Germany, since 1991 and at the\u00a0Joshibi University of Art and Design<\/strong>, Tokyo, Japan, since 2014. Her works are part of more than 80 public and private collections, such as\u00a0The Centre Pompidou<\/strong>, Paris, France,\u00a0the State Museum Collections\u00a0<\/strong>in Berlin, Germany, and\u00a0The MOMAT, the National Museum of Modern Art<\/strong>, Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n

To date, Ikemura has had more than 500 solo and group exhibitions, in over 29 countries worldwide.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Silk Room<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a new exhibition space, in the upper ground floor of the\u00a0former Telecommunications Bunker from WWII\u00a0<\/strong>permanently hosting The Feuerle Collection, which has been renovated by John Pawson.
\nDedicated to temporary art shows and interdisciplinary cultural projects, including performances, artist talks, screenings and concerts, the\u00a0Silk Room\u00a0<\/em>has been\u00a0inaugurated in September 2022<\/strong>, with the exhibition\u00a0Edmund de Waal and Unseen Pieces from The Feuerle Collection<\/em><\/strong>, which was on view until May 1, 2023.<\/p>\n

\n

When Animals Become Art. Leiko Ikemura at The Feuerle Collection<\/strong> is open to the public from 7 July 2023 until 7 January 2024. The permanent exhibition remains open at the same time. Tickets are available for purchase online.<\/p>\n

To coincide with Berlin Art Week, an artist talk<\/strong> between Leiko Ikemura and De\u0301sire\u0301 Feuerle will take place on Friday 15 September at 4 pm<\/strong> at The Feuerle Collection. Please reserve a spot here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
