Im April 1955 kamen Vertreter*innen aus 29 asiatischen und afrikanischen Staaten in der indonesischen Stadt Bandung zusammen, um gemeinsam und solidarisch ihre Ziele für die Zeit nach der Dekolonisation zu formulieren. Die forschungsbasierte Ausstellung Spectres of Bandung richtet den Blick auf diese erste groß angelegte asiatisch-afrikanische Konferenz, die als Katalysator für bereits bestehende politische und kulturelle Verbindungen angesehen werden kann.

Anhand von Fotografien, Gemälden, Filmen und Archivmaterial beleuchtet die Gruppenausstellung im Gropius Bau den Geist der Selbstbestimmung, der die Bandung-Konferenz prägte.

Nach seiner Reise nach Bandung veröffentlichte der afroamerikanische Journalist und Schriftsteller Richard Wright im Jahr 1956 einen Bericht über die Konferenz. Wrights The Color Curtain: A Report on the Bandung Conference beschreibt eine Welt, in der sich die politische Macht zu verschieben beginnt, und ist ein wichtiger Bezugspunkt der Ausstellung im Gropius Bau. Historische und zeitgenössische künstlerische Positionen versuchen, sich den Geistern von Bandung anzunähern: der Vorstellung von Möglichkeitsräumen für historisch unterdrückte Teile der Welt, die zugleich neue Ambivalenzen und Komplexitäten der gemeinsamen Kämpfe offenbarte.

Kuratiert von Philippe Pirotte, Vera Mey und Zippora Elders in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Team internationaler Kurator*innen

Play, laugh, be loud, romp, do nothing – and that in an exhibition house! Starting September 4, 2024, BAUBAU invites exactly that. In the play area for children designed by artist Kerstin Brätsch, more is allowed than is prohibited. Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of "Loose Parts" (loose materials) shape spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose strict requirements but are determined by the children's activities. They set the direction and form for what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibility, which can change day by day.

BAUBAU starts in September 2024 in a prototype version and will develop and grow over the coming years, both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with children and their wishes, because this is their place.

Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great importance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the foundations of free play: Here, children have the time, space, and permission to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment in which children can play freely.

Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: Elements from her earlier works, like marbling, paintings, or stucco marble works, reappear here in altered forms and materiality. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing frames are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastic creatures, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their quirky, funny, perhaps also somewhat eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate external influences. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and concepts without the artist's influence in unpredictable ways.

In the play area for children designed by artist Kerstin Brätsch, more is allowed than is prohibited. Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of "Loose Parts" (loose materials) shape spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose strict requirements but are determined by the children's activities. They set the direction and form for what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibility, which can change day by day.

BAUBAU starts in September 2024 in a prototype version and will develop and grow over the coming years, both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with children and their wishes, because this is their place.

Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great importance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the foundations of free play: Here, children have the time, space, and permission to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment in which children can play freely.

Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: Elements from her earlier works, like marbling, paintings, or stucco marble works, reappear here in altered forms and materiality. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing frames are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastic creatures, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their quirky, funny, perhaps also somewhat eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate external influences. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and concepts without the artist's influence in unpredictable ways.

Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of "Loose Parts" (loose materials) shape spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose strict requirements but are determined by the children's activities. They set the direction and form for what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibility, which can change day by day.

BAUBAU starts in September 2024 in a prototype version and will develop and grow over the coming years, both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with children and their wishes, because this is their place.

Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great importance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the foundations of free play: Here, children have the time, space, and permission to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment in which children can play freely.

Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: Elements from her earlier works, like marbling, paintings, or stucco marble works, reappear here in altered forms and materiality. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing frames are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastic creatures, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their quirky, funny, perhaps also somewhat eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate external influences. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and concepts without the artist's influence in unpredictable ways.

Rirkrit Tiravanija

At the beginning of September 2024, the exhibition HAPPINESS IS NOT ALWAYS FUN by the artist Rirkrit Tiravanija will open at the Gropius Bau. Tiravanija has expanded the conventional concept of art with his practice, creating situations where social interactions and sensory experiences are negotiated. Since the early 1990s, Tiravanija has partly lived in Germany and has repeatedly developed artistic works that address cultural peculiarities, migration, and the political present of the country. HAPPINESS IS NOT ALWAYS FUN is the first to bring together these works, which also demonstrate the significance of Berlin and Germany as a site of artistic production for Tiravanija. The title of the exhibition is taken from the opening credits of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s film Fear Eats the Soul from 1974, whose depiction of anti-Arab racism against the so-called guest worker Ali is disturbingly relevant today, 50 years later. The extensive exhibition includes works on paper, sculptures, photographs, multiples, and a selection of rarely shown Super-8 films, as well as regular activations of central ephemeral and participatory works by the artist from the 1980s to the present day. The explosive power of his practice remains the focus: institutional boundaries and categories are tested; it gets loud, cooking, eating, and playing happen.

Since the early 1990s, Tiravanija has partly lived in Germany and has repeatedly developed artistic works that address cultural peculiarities, migration, and the political present of the country. HAPPINESS IS NOT ALWAYS FUN is the first to bring together these works, which also demonstrate the significance of Berlin and Germany as a site of artistic production for Tiravanija. The title of the exhibition is taken from the opening credits of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s film Fear Eats the Soul from 1974, whose depiction of anti-Arab racism against the so-called guest worker Ali is disturbingly relevant today, 50 years later. The extensive exhibition includes works on paper, sculptures, photographs, multiples, and a selection of rarely shown Super-8 films, as well as regular activations of central ephemeral and participatory works by the artist from the 1980s to the present day. The explosive power of his practice remains the focus: institutional boundaries and categories are tested; it gets loud, cooking, eating, and playing happen.
