Summary

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Falckenberg Collection, Deichtorhallen Hamburg/ Falckenberg Collection will present a comprehensive exhibition focusing on installation and sculptural works from the collection. The exhibition presents around 100 works by over 60 internationally renowned artists, which have already been on loan to the Centre Pompidou, PS1, Walker Art Center, Tate Modern, MoMA New York, MOCA Los Angeles as well as the Venice and Shanghai Biennales. For the first time, these works will now be brought together in a large survey exhibition at the Falckenberg Collection in Hamburg-Harburg. Some of the exhibits will be on display for the first time in the Phoenix Hallen in Harburg. Many of the works on show, such as Jon Kessler's multimedia installation "The Palace at 4 A.M.," will be carefully restored especially for this exhibition and thus made newly accessible for visitors. In addition, the permanent installations at the Falckenberg Collection by Jonathan Meese, Thomas Hirschhorn and John Bock are an integral part of the show.
