Exhibitions 2022
Dayanita Singh: Dancing with my Camera
18 March to 7 August 2022
Since the 1980s, Dayanita Singh has pioneered a genre-defying approach to photography that pushes the limits of the medium. Dancing with my Camera presents the major phases of the internationally renowned artist’s oeuvre, from her earliest works through today. Along with key past works, including her “museums”, the new project, Let’s See, is especially realised for the Gropius Bau exhibition.
Beirut and the Golden Sixties: A Manifesto of Fragility
25 March to 12 June 2022
Beirut and the Golden Sixties: A Manifesto of Fragility revisits a dazzling yet disconcerting chapter in Beirut’s modern history bookended by the late 1950s and the late 1970s, corresponding to the Lebanon crisis of 1958 and the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975. The exhibition traces the complicated relationship between Beirut’s artistic cosmopolitanism and the surrounding trans-regional and political antagonisms.
Takeover
10 June to 14 August 2022
Takeover invites children to take on the role of curators. Curated and realised by Berlin primary school students, the exhibition focuses on environmental topics and multi-sensory artworks – with works by Vanessa Farfán, Jan Peter Hammer, Khansa Humeidan, Susanne Kriemann, Michelle-Marie Letelier, Lisa Rave and Egill Sæbjörnsson.
Louise Bourgeois: The Woven Child
22 July to 23 October 2022
The Woven Child is the first major survey to focus exclusively on Louise Bourgeois’ fabric-based works. The exhibition charts the artists’ lifelong connection to textiles, and the memories they conjure, through a diverse body of sculptures, installations, drawings, collages, books and prints.
YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal
16 September 2022 to 15 January 2023
The large-scale exhibition, featuring 26 international artists, touches on issues such as the politics of health, the resilience of Indigenous knowledge systems, forms of kinship, decoloniality and the non-human, all entangled with various concepts of care, repair and healing.
