The upper hall of the Neue Nationalgalerie will host a retrospective on the work of Nan Goldin titled This Will Not End Well. Across six rooms, Goldin’s work will be featured by way of slide shows and film projections accompanied by soundtracks and music. Goldin’s works tell stories about love, intimacy, addiction and loss. With her sometimes tender snapshots of intimacy and relationships, everyday life, wild parties and the struggle between autonomy and dependency, Goldin continues to shape our perception of our times. Through its focus on slide shows and video installations, the exhibition goes back to the roots of Goldin’s artistic practice. Goldin, who always wanted to be a filmmaker, conceives of her slide shows as film stills. This Will Not End Well thus ties in with Goldin’s original vision of how audiences should interact with her art. The exhibition will be travelling to the following museums: Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Milan, and the Grand Palais, Paris.
