Sam Pulitzer - Whim or Sentiment or Chance

Exhibition

Friday 19 October at 10:00 until 18:00
Invalidenstraße 50-51 Berlin Mitte
Hamburger Bahnhof


Sam Pulitzer’s first institutional exhibition in Germany centers on a narrow corridor made of aluminium and transparent acrylic glass. It lures and constrains us, and as a spatial element, it keeps us at a distance. The seven drawings inside the corridor reveal the artist’s – whose practice continues to be critical of institutions – affinity for linguistic games, hidden references, logos, and pop culture. The installation is juxtaposed with other groups of works by Pulitzer and works from the collection of the Nationalgalerie by Daniel Buren, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Mona Hatoum, Jenny Holzer, Jonathan Horowitz, Gülsün Karamustafa, Bruce Nauman, Raymond Pettibon, Gregor Schneider, and Roman Signer. 

The title of the installation and the exhibition refers to Keynesian theory, according to which decisions are not based on rational calculations but on animal instincts (‘animal spirits’) and ‘whim or sentiment or chance’.

Held at Hamburger Bahnhof
Entry from €4 - €14

There will be a publication to accompany the exhibition.
Curator: Ina Dinter
