A special exhibition of the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in dialogue with the collections of Galeri Nasional Indonesia (Jakarta, Indonesia), MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum (Chiang Mai, Thailand), and Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation and initiated and funded by the Goethe Institut. Nation, Narration, Narcosis: Collecting Entanglements and Embodied Histories at Hamburger Bahnhof is dedicated to the relationship between art and political protests, historical trauma, and social narratives from the 19th century to now. The works on display explore the effects of nation-building, colonialism or the Anthropocene on societies, their narratives, as well as the ecology of our planet. Departing from Beuys’s concept of the social sculpture, the exhibition confronts the notion of nation contained in the name "Nationalgalerie" with alternative concepts of connectivity, solidarity, and individuality.

Eva Fàbregas. Devouring Lovers introduces the work of Barcelona-based artist Eva Fàbregas on the occasion of her largest solo exhibition to date. Eva Fàbregas takes over the historical hall of Hamburger Bahnhof with a monumental, site-specific installation that expands the boundaries of sculpture, inviting visitors to a sensual, spatial experience. Biomorphous sculptures transform the museum’s architecture, which is characterised by industrial iron girders, into an organically grown space, blurring the borders between technically generated, and the human and non-human worlds. This is the second in a series of publications accompanying solo exhibitions of contemporary artists at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. It comprises a curatorial text by Anna-Catharina Gebbers, a comprehensive interview with the artist, and essay contributions by Paul B. Preciado and Daisy Lafarge situating Eva Fàbregas’s work within a larger context. Text in English and German.
