Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) presents Berlin’s first solo exhibition by British artist Ghislaine Leung. Based on a rigorously conceptual yet deeply personal approach, Reproductions explores the administrative, financial, and infrastructural processes of exhibition-making through a series of new works. By employing strategies of withdrawal and refusal, Leung focuses on the reproductive aspects of institutional labor that decisively shape the outcome of artistic production and reception, but typically remain hidden. Reproductions foregrounds these activities, shifting attention to the many processes beyond the artist that are required to create and maintain the perceived neutrality of the contemporary exhibition format.

Ghislaine Leung (*1980 in Stockholm, lives in London) has presented her work in numerous solo exhibitions, including: Kunsthalle Basel; The Renaissance Society, Chicago (both 2024); Simian, Copenhagen (2023); Ordet, Milan; Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach (both 2021); Netwerk, Aalst / Belgium; Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (both 2019); WIELS, Brussels (2016). In 2018, she published her book Partners (Cell Project Space), followed by Bosses (Divided) in 2023. In 2023 she was nominated for the Turner Prize.
