The exhibition by Gulnur Mukazhanova is conceived as a contemporary intervention within the historical space of Kunsthaus Dahlem. Through a spatial installation made of textile, soft, body-related materials, the artist responds to the building’s monumental architecture, whose history has been shaped by ideological attributions as well as political upheavals.
Gulnur Mukazhanova’s oeuvre encompasses textile works, photography and installation-based formats. Emerging from the tension between globalised realities of life and traditional ways of living, her work reflects both personal experiences and broader social and political processes. At its core is the fusion of Central Asian traditions with approaches drawn from conceptual art and abstraction. Questions of identity, migration and cultural transformation recur throughout her practice as central themes.
Gulnur Mukazhanova was born in 1984 in Semipalatinsk and is now considered one of Kazakhstan’s leading contemporary artists. She studied Textile Design at the Academy of Arts in Almaty and at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin. Since participating in the Central Asian Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, she has exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group shows. Most recently, her work has been presented at CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) in Hong Kong, the Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture in Almaty and last year’s Bukhara Biennial. Concurrent with her exhibition at Kunsthaus Dahlem, she is also participating in this year’s Kyiv Biennial, presented at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
