Professor John A. Tyson, a leading expert on the work of Hans Haacke, will lead this gallery talk analyzing the artist’s poster-artwork Wir (alle) sind das Volk (We [all] are the people) (2003/24). Tyson will discuss Haacke’s desire to advocate for social justice for migrants, interrogate nationalism, and connect to a longer history of Germany with the project.
This talk is offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation (September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025).
