This group exhibition features works by Darren Almond, Matthew Barney, Elmgreen & Dragset, Barry Flanagan, Günther Förg, Katharina Grosse, Mark Grotjahn, Friedrich Kunath, Jake Longstreth, Eddie Martinez, Rinus Van de Velde and Grace Weaver, at Potsdamer Straße 77-87.

Titled Break Point, referring to the pivotal moment in tennis when a returning player is one point from winning the current game, the exhibition takes the relationship between sports and art as its thematic focal point. Since antiquity, these two fields have been complimentary in achieving the perfect balance between the physical and spiritual realms. The exhibited works reflect this duality on the shared notions of discipline and practice, breakthrough and surrender, physical strain and artistic expression. In exploring these parallels, Break Point gestures towards a universal connectedness between corporeality and transcendence.
