Sarah Morris. All Systems fail

The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart dedicates a comprehensive retrospective to the internationally renowned artist Sarah Morris (*1967, Sevenoaks, GB) with over 150 works - from paintings, drawings, film posters, to video works and sculptures. Since the 1990s, Morris has combined themes of architecture, politics, economics, and design in her diverse body of work. The color-intensive geometric image compositions capture the visual structures of modern high-rise facades: A critical gaze is at the same time always directed at the prevailing conditions behind the facade. Her video works, which are conceptually linked to the paintings, are also a reflection on the dynamic changes in the metropolises of this world. For the exhibition, the artist is designing a wall piece that responds to the special architecture of the museum.

The exhibition is organized by the Deichtorhallen Hamburg in cooperation with the Kunstmuseen Krefeld, the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.
