Hans Haacke: 7 works

'Hans Haacke Born in Cologne, Germany, in 1936.'

'Finally, the 2015 Biennale is premiering Haacke's first "World Poll," devised specifically for this exhibition.'

'Haacke engages audiences through the use of stark imagery, deadpan text and public surveys, which invite us to reconsider our assumptions about his subjects.'

'Haacke is known for his incisive photographs, sculptures and installations that expose the workings of institutions from major museums to corporations.'

'His Condensation Cube (1963), a Plexiglas box that responded to pressure changes within the gallery, invited viewers to consider the physical space of the gallery as a metaphor for the invisible processes that maintain society. Later, in the early 1970s, Haacke embraced the sparse, informational aesthetic of conceptualism in order to focus on what he called "real-time systems."'

'Hans Haacke is a conceptual artist whose work aims to reveal and critique social and political systems, ranging in subject from the natural environment to the art world itself. His Condensation Cube (1963), a Plexiglas box that responded to pressure changes within the gallery, invited viewers to consider the physical space of the gallery as a metaphor for the invisible processes that maintain society.'
