until 25.10. | #4783ARTatBerlin | Sprüth Magers Berlin shows from 11. September 2025 (Opening: 11.09) the exhibition “Public Performance of the Self” by the artist Andrea Zittel.
Since the early 1990s, Andrea Zittel has used the arena of day-to-day life to develop and test prototypes for living structures and situations in order to understand the world at large. Zittel’s latest project, The Public Performance of the Self, hinges on the dual meaning of the term ‘to perform’, which signifies both to conduct an action and to present oneself to an audience. Zittel ‘performs herself’, participating in the various activities of everyday life in the public realm while documenting with a phone camera and written reports. With subtle dry humour, Zittel touches on both personal and universal themes – mental well-being, social roles, online culture, and her own art-making – engaging with the enduring question of how we craft and present ourselves to others.
Opening: Thursday, 11. September 2025, 6 – 10 pm.
Exhibition dates: Friday, 12. September – Saturday, 25. October 2025
