Gropius Bau to Present Major Christoph Schlingensief Exhibition in Berlin
Starting on October 9, 2026, Berlin's Gropius Bau will host an exhibition titled 'Es ist nicht mehr mein Problem, macht eure Scheiße alleine' (It's not my problem anymore, deal with your own shit). This event pays tribute to the influential German artist Christoph Schlingensief, who lived from 1960 to 2010. Known for his bold political statements in theatre, opera, film, and visual arts, Schlingensief’s work questioned the absurdities of contemporary existence. Unlike typical retrospectives, this exhibition serves as an interactive conversation featuring key pieces from his oeuvre. It showcases Gropius Bau’s dedication to innovative artistic approaches that transcend traditional boundaries, embodying Schlingensief’s belief that art is a dynamic and ever-changing journey.
