With Margret Holz’s installation work based on process and Michael S. 
Lee’s drawings which project new trajectories, “Liberated But Not Free” 
focuses on the active juxtaposition of objects and their pasts.

Margret Holz. Displaced Persons

This term “Displaced Persons” referred to the Western Allies after the 
war, people who were not native to the place where they were staying. 
Under this definition were as forced laborers, who had during the war to 
work in German factories, prisoners, former prisoners and Eastern 
Europeans. At Hasenhecke near Kassel, a DP camp existed since 1945. The 
result is a manuscript-assembly of burnt wood and photograms, a montage 
of photography and sculpture, a localization.

The works of Margret Holz are divided into individual work as well as 
construction and choreography of places. What makes a place? What has 
happened here? What impressions have emerged, which tracks, which breaks 
and spaces are visible? These questions are crucial for my projects and 
also for the choice of material. www.mabois.de

Michael S. Lee. Things Become Things Which Were Once

In an effort to revitalize and redistribute the influences of past 
machines and natures, remnants are proliferated as a texture and 
eventually congregate into autonomy once more. The consequence of 
elaborate past proffers illuminating hindsight and future projections.

Michael S. Lee’s work focuses on the elucidation of process in the 
plastic arts. He develops reinterpretations of concrete present states 
and reformulates dynamic interventions to explain, consider, and expand 
the relationships of forms and objects. Each object, aesthetic, and 
internal thought is the result of multiple processes, and each is 
followed by innumerable consequences. www.mikeslee.com
