What the Hell Was I Thinking? With his dryly comic drawings\, ab surdist installations and sharp observations\, British artist David Shrigl ey (1968) offers a humorous yet critical perspective on life and the art w orld. In the exhibition What the Hell Was I Thinking?\, on view at Kunstha l Rotterdam from Saturday 13 December\, Shrigley turns that gaze onto hims elf for the first time\, giving visitors a glimpse inside his mind. Throug hout the exhibition\, he adds commentary with witty observations in which he critically examines both society and his own work. The exhibition revea ls how he looks back at earlier works\, re-stages ideas\, and creates spac e for doubt. For Shrigley\, being an artist is not about lofty genius\, bu t about a process full of experimentation and reflection.
