Angela Bulloch's Fifth Solo Show at Galerie Eva Presenhuber Zurich Tackles Automation and Control
In Zurich, Galerie Eva Presenhuber is showcasing "Entropy, 2026," marking the fifth solo exhibition of Angela Bulloch, a British artist based in Berlin. This exhibit delves into the human experience in an automated world, a theme Bulloch began investigating in the early 1990s, at a time when her contemporaries overlooked such issues. While other Young British Artists (YBAs) concentrated on consumerism and sensationalism, Bulloch questioned individual agency, the absurdity of a roboticized existence, and the diminishing of human autonomy. Her 1991 piece "King of Comedy" utilized interactivity to challenge viewers on social determinism, a concern that has grown more pressing over the last three decades. The exhibition furthers Bulloch's ongoing inquiry into control, automation, and rules.
