Eröffnung | Gabriele Stötzer: Dabei sein und nicht schweigen

In the organizer's words:

On Thursday, June 18, the Gropius Bau will celebrate the opening of the largest institutional solo exhibition by artist Gabriele Stötzer to date, entitled "Be there and don't be silent". Free admission and there will be a musical performance and DJ sets on the summer terrace. With around 150 works, the exhibition underlines the diversity of Stötzer's experimental work and is intended as an impulse for the overdue broader reception of this pioneering artist.

For over five decades, Gabriele Stötzer has been exploring themes such as justice, self-determination and gender. Her own body often plays a central role - not as an object, but as a scene of resistance and feminist self-assertion. Gabriele Stötzer's artistic practice is inextricably linked to her social and political commitment: In 1976, she was imprisoned in the GDR on charges of "slandering the state" because of a petition, whereupon she joined the literary-artistic underground and later co-founded the Erfurt women artists' group. Many of her works formulate radical counter-proposals to state repression and standardization by subverting boundaries and opening up space for vulnerability and longing.
