Oriental Cast Iron Museum, Büdelsdorf, Germany
29 May - 2 November, 2025
Kendra's first solo institutional show brings together eleven striking new sculptures installed throughout the museum as a bold, site-specific intervention. The exhibition explores sustainability and conservation themes and the controversial topic of rewilding, all set against the historical backdrop of cast iron’s role in shaping the natural world into decorative form. Subjects include a red stag, a hind, wolves, a white-tailed eagle, a lynx, and wild boars. The Ornamental Cast Iron Museum has acquired the stag for its permanent collection.
'This exhibition is about how we see the natural world - how we’ve tried to shape it, and what it might mean to let it return,' says Haste. 'Wire, like cast iron, holds a tension between strength and fragility. That balance runs through every piece in this exhibition.'
A critical text by Ulrike Biedenbänder, the exhibition curator and an artist interview by Dan Lippiatt accompany the show, along with a commissioned film by Bill Mudge and Daniel Redding.
