Fair Shake of the Whip #1 is the first of a series of exhibitions at Hermann Germann Contemporary that juxtaposes the same or similar starting points of artistic practice. The opening exhibition brings together works by Erika Hock, Jessica Pooch, and Veronika Spierenburg. Central to their positions are architecture and society. The works refer to situations and objects both indoors and outdoors, explore the role and function of sculpture in public space, and thereby consider social, sociocultural, and gender-specific issues.
