Artist Alicja Kwade Opens the Door of Her Berlin Studio Ahead of a Major Solo Show
Berlin-based Polish artist Alicja Kwade opens her studio ahead of a major solo show, revealing the creative process behind her sculptural works that explore time, uncertainty, and reality. Her studio, acquired in 2017 from musician Bryan Adams, is a historic industrial complex in Oberschöneweide where she employs a team of a dozen full-time staff and up to 30 freelancers, including stone masons, welders, and architects. Kwade's recent high-profile exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York featured suspended stainless-steel cylinders embedded with clocks, and her notable public commissions include sculptures for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's rooftop and the 2017 Venice Biennale.
