Carriageworks: Katharina Grosse - Knight Story

Katharina Grosse tells the mythical tale of a knight, his horse, and the search for the meaning of life. Drawn from her childhood memories of the stories her father told her, this anecdote sheds intriguing new light on Grosse's typically enigmatic titles.

Carriageworks has commissioned a large-scale work by renowned German artist Katharina Grosse, The Horse Trotted Another Couple Of Metres, Then It Stopped. Consistent with her recent interest in ‘folding’ space, Grosse has utilised more than 8,000 square metres of fabric, draped and knotted in direct response to Carriageworks’ architecture. Using a spray gun, Grosse has created a multilayered painting on the surfaces and folds of the fabric, resulting in a sublime and otherworldly environment.
