Liam Gillick's Fifth Solo Show at Galerie Eva Presenhuber
Galerie Eva Presenhuber is presenting 'The Case is Altered or Die Sache ist anders,' which is Liam Gillick's fifth solo show. The title references a play from 1609. A standout feature of this exhibition is Gillick's performance, 'Mirrored Image: A Volvo Bar.' This piece first took place at Kunstverein Munich in 2007 and was later featured at 21er Haus in Vienna and Bundeskunsthalle Bonn in 2010. The performance is set in a bar adjacent to a Volvo factory, where workers recount their experiences in car manufacturing. A pivotal moment occurs when a local curator seeks help as the museum director faces a crisis. The workers come together to uphold culture, observed by a character grappling with time and identity on his birthday. No specific dates for the show are provided.
