Asta Lynge: Chariot

Chariot is a solo exhibition by Asta Lynge, for which she produced a new sculptural series, as well as a video work. The show is open from Tuesday, April 14 from 2 to 9pm as part of the Klima Biennale Wien. Kevin will host an opening reception with an introduction to the show by the artist and the curators on Thursday, April 16 from 6 to 9pm.

In her artistic practice, the artist explores ideas of progress and technology, considering how objects carry systems of desire, value, and control. Through reworking existing forms, her exhibitions expose hidden power structures and cultural narratives, and highlight how these are shaping contemporary life. With her conceptual approach, Lynge works associatively across materials and processes, opening up the potential of collapsing motifs to understand something new.

Asta Lynge (b. 1988, Denmark; lives and works in Copenhagen) holds a BFA from Central Saints Martins (2012) and was part of the first iteration of the CSM Associate Studio Programme (2013-16).
