Gabriele Stötzer: Dabei sein und nicht schweigen
In the organizer's words:
Gabriele Stötzer has been exploring themes such as justice, self-determination and gender for over five decades. Her own body often plays a central role - not as an object, but as a scene of resistance and feminist self-assertion. With dabei sein und nicht schweigen, the Gropius Bau will be showing the artist's largest institutional solo exhibition to date from June 2026.
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. With around 150 works, the exhibition underlines the diversity of her experimental work between painting, literature, photography, textile art, Super 8 film, performance and actions in public space - and sees itself as an impulse for the overdue broader reception of this pioneering artist.
Curated by Julia Grosse, strategic and conceptual consulting and development, Gropius Bau, with Christopher Wierling, assistant curator, Gropius Bau, concept: Julia Grosse and Franziska Schmidt, head of Kommunale Galerien Tempelhof-Schöneberg
