Samuel Bich: INVENTORY 1995–2025. Yours sincerely, 2025.
Samuel Bich
INVENTORY 1995–2025
The closing of the exhibition INVENTORY 1995–2025 also marks the end of the anniversary programme at Halle für Kunst Lüneburg.
SAMUEL BICH's solo exhibition at Halle für Kunst Lüneburg culminates in a publication documenting the Kunstverein’s entire holdings. This comprehensive inventory offers insights into the conceptual considerations, material conditions and personal connections that have evolved over thirty years of institutional practice. In this way, exhibition and publication complement each other: while the exhibition empties the association’s premises, the publication refills them with documents, objects, stories and memories.
The publication will be presented in an artist talk on Saturday, 21 February, at 5 pm.
The exhibition is funded by Stiftung Niedersachsen, Sparkassenstiftung Lüneburg, Hansestadt Lüneburg, and Lüneburger Bürgerstiftung.
The annual programme at Halle für Kunst Lüneburg e.V. is supported by the Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, Lüneburgischer Landschaftsverband, and Hansestadt Lüneburg.
SAMUEL BICH lives and works in Berlin. He studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, the Glasgow School of Art, and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
