Alicja Kwade: Silent Matter

On February 7, OMR debuts an immersive solo exhibition by German-Polish artist Alicja Kwade during Mexico City Art Week. Through dreamlike sculptures and installations, Kwade investigates the intersection of science, philosophy, and social reality. Towering sculptures and hovering mobiles of dense and shimmering stones act as planets and particles intimately connected by invisible forces. Works on cardboard titled “Schusslöcher (Bullet holes),” are made up of 8,760 watch hands, imaginatively depicting the hours rippling from one to another in a year—illustrating the sheer volatility and grandeur of time.
