Holding Tight

Import Export & Galerie Mehdi Chouakri are excited to present ‘Holding Tight’ - a collaborative exhibition between Lena Marie Emrich and Estate of Charlotte Posenenske - in Warsaw.
‘Holding Tight’ is the fruit of Emrich’s vigorous study of the Berlin-based archive and her homage to the late Minimalist Posenenske.

Engaged in systemic exploration of space and inviting visitor participation, Emrich and Posenenske’s sculptural practices are rigorous yet playful.

Presented alongside the iconic cardboard DW series and red metal B series by Posenenske, Emrich’s sculptures of engraved airplane windows and tram handles are simultaneously occurrences of sculpture and poetry – activating space with tender gestures and emotive language. While following Posenenske's principles, Emrich gives Minimalism a Millennial lift.
