Adrian Piper: Who, Me?

For more than five decades, Adrian Piper has held a unique place in both the world of contemporary art and academia as an artist and analytical philosopher. Like hardly any other figure of our time, she has expanded the spectrum of conceptual art and minimalism as a tool for self-examination and social critique, thus significantly influencing successive generations. Throughout her career, Piper has explored a wide range of media, including collage, drawing, installation, performance, photography, sound, and video. Rather than relying on predetermined interpretations, her practice creates spaces in which viewers are confronted with their own assumptions and prejudices, thereby calling for social, personal, and collective transformations.

For her exhibition, the artist has conceived two new site-specific works that draw on her ongoing exploration of the conditions of self-awareness.
