Lithuanian interdisciplinary artist Lina Lapelytė will present a large-scale sonic installation and performance titled "We Make Years Out of Hours (2026)" at Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof — Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, opening May 1st during Berlin Gallery Weekend 2026. The work is the second iteration of the Chanel Commission, with performances scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays through January 10, 2027, and a public preview on April 30th.
This commission marks a significant collaboration between a luxury fashion house and a major national museum, highlighting the growing role of corporate patronage in contemporary art. Lapelytė's selection continues Chanel's commitment to supporting large-scale, immersive installations by emerging international artists, while Hamburger Bahnhof's platform amplifies the visibility of experimental sonic and performance art within the institutional context.
