Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart
The Endless Exhibition now includes 21 artworks from the Hamburger Bahnhof collection displayed indoors and outdoors. The microsite and booklet guide visitors through the museum, garden, and surrounding areas, connecting the collection with history, architecture, and the neighborhood. The tour includes Dan Flavin’s light installation (1996), historic sites such as the former border crossing at Invalidenstraße, Christian Boltanski’s The Missing House in Große Hamburger Straße (1990), and annual commissioned works by Berlin-based artists Judith Hopf (2023), Claudia Wieser (2024), and, for the Open House (13–15 June 2025), a new sound installation by Susan Philipsz.
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.
