Simone Forti: Huddle / Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin

As part of Berlin Art Week 2022, Neue Nationalgalerie showed Simone Forti's performance “Huddle” in the upper hall of the iconic building by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (recently renovated by David Chipperfield Architects). It's the third time that we document “Huddle”, following coverage at Le Mouvement in Biel/Bienne (Switzerland) and Museum der Moderne in Salzburg (Austria) (both in 2014). Huddle is regarded as a decisive work in the development of conceptual art, minimalism and performance art. “In the dance construction Huddle, the participants climb a structure that is formed from their own bodies. In a constant, but not rushing movement, one or two persons are detached from a group of approximately ten participants standing close together, climbing up on the bodies of the others and back into the crowd, from where immediately afterwards a further shape detaches itself and climbs upwards. A group of people develop into a sculpture in which bundled forces become effective.”
