Pace Berlin's 'Exquisite Corpse' Links Kiki Kogelnik to Younger Artists
Pace Berlin will present 'Exquisite Corpse,' an exhibition curated by Loie Hollowell that traces the influence of Austro-American artist Kiki Kogelnik (1935–1997) across generations. Hollowell, alongside contemporaries Sascha Braunig and Veronika Pausova, found that Kogelnik's work had shaped their own practices. The show brings together works by all four artists, spanning continents and generations. The title references the Surrealist parlor game invented in 1925, where players collaboratively create a drawing or text by building on each other's contributions. Hollowell felt this concept aptly describes the exhibition's structure. The exhibition is scheduled at Pace's Berlin gallery.
