Portuguese, Berlin-based artist Leonor Antunes works with traditions of modernist art, architecture and design through sculpture made and displayed with the specifics of a given place in mind. The forms and materials of her sculptures reference a history of modernism embedded in the work of its less visible protagonists; overlooked, often female, artists and designers. This cast of historical 'companions' enters Antunes' work in enigmatic ways - through an echo of form or measurement, or the replication of a particular knot, hinge, colour or material - infusing it with their spirit and sensibility.
