German term or phrase: Aktualitaetsdruck des Ausstellungsbetriebs
Kuenstler XX entzog sich den Aktualitaetsdruck des Ausstellungsbetriebs.

This artist got snubbed at an exhibition and then refused to take part in the whole business anymore. The real problem for me is Aktualitaetsdruck.

"XX withdrew from the pressure towards topicality/novelty typical of the exhibition business"?
