DEEDS CALENDAR: Shilpa Gupta: What Still Holds – Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart | bis 03.01.2027
The starting point for Shilpa Gupta’s solo exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof is the monumental work TRUTH, situated at the intersection of language, power, and control. As visitors move through the oversized letters in the exhibition space, the artwork questions the mechanisms that preserve or obscure the truth. The sculptural installation demonstrates how collective progress depends on protecting and questioning truth. Supplemented by other works by the artist, Gupta’s exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof is presented in dialogue with the collection’s presentation of Joseph Beuys. This parallel viewing highlights similarities in the handling of language, participation, and social reflection. As part of the anniversary program, the exhibition underscores artistic exchange as a central theme of Hamburger Bahnhof since the museum’s founding.
