The exhibition Taking a Stand at Kunsthaus Zürich showcases the enduring relevance of artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) with interventions from Mona Hatoum.
Mona Hatoum and Käthe Kollwitz are two artists whose works address social hardship and conflicts. Hatoum creates sculptures and installations that offer a global perspective on social issues. Kollwitz's drawings, prints, and sculptures emphasize the misery and suffering of humanity, influenced by her experience of two global conflicts.
The exhibition presents around 120 works by Kollwitz and five installations by Hatoum including Cellules, 2012-2013, Remains of the Day, 2016-2018, and Worry Beads, 2009.
