SARAH MORRIS: ALL SYSTEMS FAIL

DEICHTORHALLEN HAMBURG, 2023

Hamburg, Germany | 2023

studioMDA designed three exhibitions for Sarah Morris’ show “All Systems Fail”. The first one was presented in 2023 by the Deichtorhallen Hamburg. The retrospective with a total of over 180 works provided an overview of thirty years of her groundbreaking work. The exhibition covered a total of 18,885 square feet, between the main exhibition space, separate viewing rooms and two video rooms.

Through close collaboration with the artist and the Deichtorhallen team, StudioMDA configured the placement of the artworks and sequence of rooms in a special system based on the themes of urbanity and networks addressed by Sarah Morris. The arrangement of the rooms created urban "squares" for each period of her work.
