Farbvision will host a two-part exhibition of new work by French/German artist Caroline Achaintre. First will be a special presentation at Hamburger Bahnhof as part of Friends With Books (22-24 September), followed by a solo exhibition at Farbvision (opening 6 October). In both parts Achaintre will present an installation of works in a variety of media, including handtufted wool, ceramic, and watercolour. Achaintre cites the ‘crude aesthetics’ of German Expressionism and post-war British sculpture as influences on her bold and striking installations. She has recently had solo exhibitions at Castello di Rivoli, Turin; Tate Britain, London; Baltic; Gateshead. Her work is currently on show as part of British Art Show 8.
