DEEDS CALENDAR: CHANEL Commission: Lina Lapelytė. We Make Years Out of Hours – Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart | until 10.01.2027
With her performance “We Make Years Out of Hours,” Lina Lapelytė transforms the historic hall of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart in Berlin into a place of collective action and singing for the second CHANEL Commission. The exhibition will be on view at the Hamburger Bahnhof from May 1, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Lapelytė is known for her meditative works that combine sound, rituals, and labor. “We Make Years Out of Hours” is a living monument to time, care, and coexistence, transcending the boundaries between sculpture and performance, individual and collective. Through the active involvement of the audience, the participatory format emphasizes the concept of the open museum, which is also marked by the 30th anniversary of the Hamburger Bahnhof and will open during Gallery Weekend Berlin.
