Body Pressure, Hamburger Bahnhof, Until January 12
Up until mid-January, the Historic Hall of the Hamburger Bahnhof - the home of Berlin's Museum of Contemporary Art - is assuming the role of a surreal sculpture garden, revealing many different approaches to the human figure in contemporary sculpture from the 1960s to the present. During the past few decades, figurative sculpture has become more multi-facetted than ever before. It no longer expresses demonstrations of power, religion, and mythology. It no longer serves as a monument. It has become a performance of sorts. One of the exhibition's most powerful works is Bruce Nauman's Body Pressure (1974), which invites each visitor to participate in its implementation. Grab a pink sheet of paper from the stack that has been placed on a robust wooden pallet in the room; follow the instructions and press yourself against the bare, white wall; blend in with the wall and lose yourself in it; feel yourself struggling with your alter ego, which seems to be pushing back from the other side....
