Suspended Mies was the title of an exhibition by Bettina Pousttchi at the Arts Club of Chicago in 2017. On that occasion, the artist had developed a site-specific photo installation that responded to the work of architect Mies van der Rohe, who designed the famed ‘floating staircase’ at The Arts Club. The installation was comprised of three parts that brought together Mies’s legacy. A large-scale photograph of the Seagram Building in New York printed on textile, extended the length of the entire west gallery; a second suspended work addressed Mansion House Square, Mies’s unbuilt project for London; the third part was The Arts Club’s own physical space with the staircase. For Mies in Mind, the large-scale photograph Suspended Seagram will be reinstalled at Buchmann Galerie Berlin.

Bettina Pousttchi stands as one of Germany’s foremost contemporary artists and has also received significant recognition internationally, especially in the USA, where solo exhibitions of her work have been held in institutions such as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Phillips Collection in Washington DC, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas and the Arts Club of Chicago.
