12 September – 19 October 2013
insitu, Berlin

In parallel to Berlin’s big autumn art events: abc Berlin and the Berlin Art Week, insitu presented with »Episode 3: cézanne beats pollock« a group show that reflects on and discusses mechanisms of the art market as well as the art system itself.

An artist’s professional ascension is ruled by numerous, often very hierarchical steps. Therefore, reflections on the pressure to succeed, financial security or the sustainability of art pieces are often embedded into the content of art production itself. »Episode 3: cézanne beats pollock« assembled artworks that question the repercussions of this system on artistic production and attitudes with an often self-deprecating and humorous approach.
