C/O Berlin presents the exhibition Felicity Hammond: Remains in Development at its Amerika Haus gallery from September 12, 2020 to January 23, 2021. For her first exhibition in Germany, Felicity Hammond brings together three recent series of works in a newly developed, site-specific installation. Remains in Development combines large-format collages, sculptural elements, and an installation that explores chroma keying—a technique from film and photography that uses green and blue backgrounds to isolate objects from their surroundings and re-enact them against any backdrop.
In addition to and concurrently with the presentation at C/O, an outdoor project consisting of five temporary advertising columns has been realized, extending the exhibition into the urban space. The designs were created specifically for this presentation and are based on collages by the artist that are also on display at C/O. In the outdoor space of B-Part Am Gleisdreieck, three of the five columns are on display and can be viewed free of charge in a unique interplay with the urban landscape. The other locations of the advertising columns are the median strip on Hardenbergstraße near C/O and Kühlhaus Berlin.
Felicity Hammond (born 1988 in Birmingham, UK) explores the social, political, and economic contradictions of the postmodern city in her work. The city's buildings and facades shape our collective identity and suggest a future by erasing history. In large-format collages, the artist combines found fragments from glossy brochures and real estate company billboards with her own photographs. The confident promises of advertising collide with post-industrial scenes of car tires, construction debris, plaster bags, pallets, and discarded materials from large construction sites. The collages, reminiscent of apocalyptic historical paintings, rarely reference specific locations or decipherable connections.
We are delighted about this exciting collaboration! The exhibition and the columns on the B-Part grounds can be viewed until January 2021.
