David Shrigley: What the Hell Was I Thinking?
Kunsthal Rotterdam presents What the Hell Was I Thinking?, the first large-scale Dutch exhibition of the British artist known for his dry humour and absurdist view of everyday life.
Shrigley has gained international recognition for his deadpan drawings, offbeat installations and sharp observations. Behind the apparent simplicity of his images lies a critical undertone: Shrigley challenges social conventions and the routines of daily life. His work reflects both humour and unease, inviting viewers to question the world around them.
What the Hell Was I Thinking? presents works including neons, inflatables and sculptures, alongside his characteristic works on paper. The variety highlights his ability to blend satire with critical reflection across different forms.
Organised in close collaboration with the artist and Stephen Friedman Gallery, the exhibition offers Rotterdam audiences a comprehensive look at Shrigley’s output.
