Guerrilla Girl Frida Kahlo will make an appearance at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), on September 9, from 6 pm! Her presence marks the opening of a new site-specific work created by the Guerrilla Girls for the n.b.k. facade.
For over 40 years, the Guerrilla Girls have been shaking up the art world’s conscience. With biting humor and provocative slogans delivered through visually striking poster campaigns, they expose inequalities of gender and race in the international art world and beyond. In particular, the Guerrilla Girls target institutional structures dominated by a white, male, and heteronormative status quo. The anonymity of the Guerrilla Girls is a radical act in an art world driven by ego and fame: members always appear in gorilla masks, going by the names of deceased women artists such as Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz rather than their own. In preserving their anonymity, they shift attention away from the individual artists behind the masks and toward the artistic message itself – conveyed clearly, sharply, and without compromise. The collective also resists commodification by the art market, placing its work directly in public space as billboards, posters, and stickers.
