All Systems Go: Sarah Morris in conversation with Isabelle Graw

Sarah Morris talks with the author Isabelle Graw about her work and current exhibition ALL SYSTEMS FAIL at Deichtorhallen Hamburg. With an introduction by Dirk Luckow, director of Deichtorhallen Hamburg. Through her use both of reality and vivid, complex abstractions, Sarah Morris creates a new language of place and politics. She sees her works as self-generating, open to interpretation, motion, and change, giving the viewer a heightened sense that they are part of a larger system. The situations the artist places herself and the viewers within reflect the hierarchies we inhabit. Uniquely playing with the contradiction of our complicity with structures both macro and micro, Morris is considered one of the most intriguing artists of her generation. Sarah Morris lives and works in New York. Isabelle Graw is a professor of arthistory and arttheory at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste (Städelschule) Frankfurt am Main. She founded Texte zur Kunst in 1990 with Stefan Germer (†) and co-edited and conceptualized 119 issues so far. In 2003 she co-founded the Institut für Kunstkritik at the Städelschule with Daniel Birnbaum. The conversation was recorded on 7 July 2023. __ SARAH MORRIS ALL SYSTEMS FAIL 4. Mai – 20.
