Judith Hopf will talk about her recent series of works with the title: Some End of Things. Alongside her 'research' concerning Endings, Hopf will concentrate on keywords like: Exhaustion, Emancipation and Entrance in order to develop perspectives beyond the hopefully and finally found Ends.
"...The artist's recent work often returns to the idea of exhaustion. She frames this concept in Beckettian terms, considering the Janus-faced possibilities of speaking exhaustively and, conversely, the point at which meaning itself is exhausted. Are you exhausted because of the endless possibilities or because the possibilities have already been exhausted? Hopf's work suggests unexpected modes of resistance to what she has called 'the tyranny of the same'. …" Sam Thorne , Frieze Foundation, 2011
Judith Hopf´s 'Some Ends of Things' were recently exhibited at Galerie Croy/Nielsen, Berlin, Frieze Foundation London, Alex Zachery Gallery, New York and Galerie Andreas Huber, Wien. In 2011 she participated in various groupshows like 'Priority Moments', Herald Street, London, 'Traurige Tiere', Kunstverein Bonn and 'How to Work', Kunsthalle Basel.
