Monopol Gives Away Tickets for Hujar and Deschenes at Gropius Bau

Monopol magazine is running a ticket giveaway for the exhibition 'Peter Hujar / Liz Deschenes: Persistence of Vision' at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. The show pairs the late photographer Peter Hujar, known for his stark black-and-white portraits of the New York downtown scene in the 1960s and 1970s, with contemporary artist Liz Deschenes, whose abstract works explore the material conditions of photography. Hujar's subjects included Divine, Susan Sontag, Candy Darling, John Waters, William S. Burroughs, and David Wojnarowicz, as well as animals, landscapes, and urban margins. Deschenes' non-representational pieces use glass or directly exposed photo paper to focus on light, material, and time. The juxtaposition highlights contrasts and similarities between Hujar's rigorously composed images and Deschenes' reduced, often serial works that eschew classical motifs. Both artists treat photography as a material and spatial process. To enter the draw, send an email with subject 'Hujar' and your full name to info@monopol-magazin.de by Thursday, May 30, 2 PM. Winners will be notified by email and receive digital tickets. No legal recourse.
