Kandis Friesen, Untitled (These arms of mine), 2021. Courtesy the artist.
Summary
Kandis Friesen’s exhibition “These arms of mine” at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin is grounded in the relations of the materiality of stone, memory, and power. Thinking through their distributed formations in the world around us – as in architectures, monuments or landscapes – the artist began this work with the Schwerbelastungskörper (german: Heavy Load-Bearing Body), a giant concrete column in the Tempelhof district of Berlin.
