Miriam Cahn’s new exhibition at Meyer Riegger, Berlin represents a powerful and radical evolution of the artist’s multi-decade practice. Traumbefehl consists of a single, monumental ‘room installation’ that extends over both floors of the gallery.

Comprising paintings and drawings on different materials, which mix her hitherto characteristic figurative style with more abstract and text-based pieces, as well as sculptural elements, the artwork is made up of 174 individual components that are conceived of as one cohesive group. For the presentation of the piece at Meyer Riegger, Berlin, the artist has devised a unique installation in dialogue with the physical space of the gallery. Dealing with themes of mortality and dreaming, in Traumbefehl visitors are invited to follow a predetermined path set by the artist and to ‘read’ Cahn’s observations of her day-to-day life.

An artist’s booklet containing a text by Miriam Cahn has been produced to accompany the exhibition.
