Opening: Michalis Pichler - The Beginning of the System of Lies

The next three exhibitions at Hallway Gallery will be aligned on the basis of a common subject or concern of the artists. I would say: an analytical or critical behavior towards sign systems, especially the system of language. Michalis Pichler, the first to exhibit, is a Berlin-based artist, known for his appropriative method and the dense web of references in his works. In his way of subtle interference in signs, symbols and texts he strips bare the arbitrariness of the signifier: by erasing a thin line, the initials M.B. (Marcel Broodthaers) become M.P. (Michalis Pichler).
