Solo exhibition
Brandenburgischer Kunstverein Potsdam, Potsdam
23.10.2025 - 15.02.2026


Starting in October, the BKV Potsdam is showing a spatial installation by Sabine Hornig that will transform the exhibition pavilion into a temporary sculpture of light and color. It addresses Modernism in architecture and its democratic promise. The 43-meter-long transparent collage thereby also relates to the exhibition building itself and to its urban planning surroundings.

Here, Hornig continues a work series in public space that has attracted much attention. In this series, she explores the self-understanding of open societies, for example in 2020 in an almost 13-meter-height installation on the glass façade of New York’ LaGuardia Airport, where she fused the geometries of the metropolis with text fragments into a microcosmos of cultures. A currently developing work at a new construction of the German parliament building, the Bundestag, is also concerned with the relationship of tension between the history of democracy and the history of architecture.
