In her work, the British New York-based painter and film maker Sarah Morris (b. 1967) combines abstract painting with issues around modernity and power.
Morris is interested in the systems that run through our lives in modern society, and how they are manifested in different cities and cultural contexts – from the architecture of large corporations via traffic to the digital infrastructure. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the artist’s career, including her work in film. The fifteen films that will be shown in cinema boxes in the exhibition are devoted to the dynamic of global metropolises such as Los Angeles or Beijing, and blend into an artistic unity with the paintings.
