In his current exhibition, “A Twitter at the Palisades”, Lorenzo Pompa brings together all the recent works created for this “stage”. The title, as always with Pompa a profoundly amusing creation with a double meaning, could be harmless tweeting on top of a fence, but also tweeting behind a fortification or defense system.

What is at stake in his work and his artistic attitude, Johanna Adam, curator at the Bundeskunsthalle, will ask in a direct conversation with the artist.

Rebecca Stevenson wurde als Shifting Perspectives Artist in Residence für das Victoria & Albert Museum in London ausgewählt.
Die Residenz fiel mit der Ausstellung Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance zusammen. Stevenson entwickelte und präsentierte neue bildhauerische Arbeiten, die mit Werken aus den Sammlungen interagierten.

The exhibition Sex and Violence – Deadly Desire in Art explores the darkest sides of desire and passion: from Salome to prostitution, lust murder and war crimes, to raising awareness of sexualized violence in contemporary art.

Exclusive pre-release event* with the vinyl art label GRAND CHESS Records.
It features the new album “Spark Like Living Mothers” by two-time Grammy Award winner Simon Goff and new works by New York artist Ruth Marten, who designed the entire visuals for the release.
Simon Goff performs live in the gallery at 4 pm and introduces the music.
