In this guided tour, curator Julia Grosse gives insights into the exhibition Gabriele Stötzer: Dabei sein und nicht schweigen.
Dabei sein und nicht schweigen (Showing up and Not Remaining Silent) marks Gabriele Stötzer’s largest institutional solo exhibition to date. With around 150 works, the exhibition highlights the diversity of her œuvre – encompassing painting, literature, photography, textile art, Super 8 film, performance and public interventions – and intends to catalyse the long-overdue broader recognition of this groundbreaking artist.
Julia Grosse is an art historian, curator and strategic advisor at Gropius Bau in Berlin. She is a lecturer at the Institute for Art in Context (Universität der Künste Berlin), a member of the University Council of the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, and regularly serves as a jury member, most recently for the German Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale. Together with Yvette Mutumba, Grosse is the founder of the international platform Contemporary And (C&); both were awarded the “European Cultural Manager of the Year“ prize in 2020. Among her work, she curated John Akomfrah’s first major institutional exhibition in Germany at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and is organising the most comprehensive institutional solo exhibition to date by the artist Gabriele Stötzer at Gropius Bau in Berlin in 2026.
