Hannah Hallermann: Bis zum Sommer krieg ich dich fit!

Opening hours Wed-Fri 2-6pm and upon request
Berlin Art Week: Wed-Sat 2-7pm
For years countless movement concepts, each demonstrating their own way of dealing with body and space, have been competing for followers. They all share the imperative desire for discipline and training from which derives the unspoken promise of self-liberation or even happiness. The Berlin based sculptor Hannah Hallermanns has dedicated her exhibition "Until the end of summer I'll get you fit!" to those believing. After the disassociation of religious attitudes (humility exercise 1 + 2, 2014) and the analysis of scenarios of the Anthropocene (2016), the artist turns in these new works to the prevailing compulsion to self-optimizing. On display are hurdles together with concrete and steel starting blocks with strange and unusul surfaces, as well as a space-filling tent that rests on a sulfid-yellow tree trunk. In continuation of her previous practice this exhibition deals with the human condition employing traditional means of sculpture - metal and stone – as the backbone of each work. I'll get you fit by the end of the summer! is the artist’s first institutionell solo in Berlin with most works newly conceived for it.
