Sarah Morris. All Systems Fail

Exhibition at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart


The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart presents a major retrospective of the internationally acclaimed artist Sarah Morris (b. 1967, Sevenoaks, UK). Spanning more than one hundred works—paintings, drawings, film posters, immersive film installations, and a new site-specific mural—this exhibition celebrates three decades of Morris's influential artistic practice.

Morris is renowned for her vibrant geometric paintings that explore networks, systems, economics, and architecture. Blending observed reality with pictorial abstraction, her work engages with Pop Art realism, American minimalism, and institutional critique. For Morris, paintings operate as autonomous entities—deliberately open to interpretation, embodying flux and transformation. Through them, viewers encounter a potent reminder: we are always embedded within larger systems of meaning and structure.

Both her abstract paintings and experimental films investigate the "psychogeography" of cities—their shifting character and complex dynamics. Her cinematic urban portraits map the intersections between geography, economics, and production. The exhibition's title reflects our current moment: one shadowed by cultural anxiety, technological disruption of human connection, and the breakdown of political and social institutions.

The exhibition is organized by Deichtorhallen Hamburg in collaboration with Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Zentrum Paul Klee Bern, and Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.
