Kate Newby is an attentive observer and collector - she inscribes traces, objects and fragments that at first glance appear everyday into works that nestle in spaces and special places. The environment becomes part of the work: it changes continuously over the time of its presentation.
In Munich, Newby's site-specific intervention "anything, anything", which was created in 2024 for the monastery ruins in Berlin, takes on a new form. Around 1,000 hand-crafted bricks fit into the green space next to the Museum Brandhorst in two long lines and run towards the so-called Türkentor and Walter De Maria's "Large Red Sphere".
In conversation with Juliane Bischoff (curator, Portikus Frankfurt), Newby explores her practice, the potential of materials and public space as a zone of interwoven places, times and histories.
The conversation takes place in the context of the exhibition "Carrying" and Various Others.
