Coming at things from all sides

Line Lyhne (*1991) lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She studied at the Städelschule Frankfurt am Main, Accademia de Belle Arti di Brera Milano and Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg. Lyhne’s work employs various art historical references and thus formally resists a clear classification. Committed to both the craft of making and a conceptual framework, she includes different materials and methodologies, from hand-crafting to the employment of readymades. The work deals with with reproduction, but at a level that exposes its labour, craft and the worker’s hand. A hand-made sensitivity substitutes industrial reproducibility, to observe and deconstruct our relationship to consumer culture and desire. Her works call attention to the space around them exploring hierarchies between architecture, object and body.
