Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart
Twenty installations, sculptures and interventions have been set up in and around the Hamburger Bahnhof since it opened in 1996. These include Dan Flavin’s striking blue and green light installation on the façade of the main building, as well as works by Tom Fecht, Urs Fischer, John Knight and Gregor Schneider. Some of the works are more visible than others. The Endless Exhibition enables visitors to rediscover the artworks and reflect on the current relevance of the site-specific collection – through public tours and a dedicated publication and website.
Each year, the Endless Exhibition is supplemented by a newly created work of art permanently acquired for the Nationalgalerie collection. As all the artworks to date have been made by male artists, female artists have been invited to contribute works from 2023 to 2025. The 2023 installations, dem Kirschbaum ähnelnde Essigbaumäste and Regen, by Berlin-based artist Judith Hopf address nature’s energy and resilience lying beyond human influence. They are on view in the passageway to the east wing. Since June 2024, a tiled work by Berlin-based artist Claudia Wieser has been installed on the rounded elevator shaft at the entrance to the restaurant. Scottish sound artist Susan Philipsz is developing a new sound installation for the Endless Exhibition, which is to be implemented in Hamburger Bahnhof’s courtyard and explores the site and its history.
The exhibition is curated by the art team from Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart.
Endless Exhibition is a project realised by Hamburger Bahnhof with the kind support of Peppermint and the Freunde der Nationalgalerie.
