COMING SOON: BARBARA FOREVER FILM
Screenings in Germany

102 mins / United States

A kaleidoscopic exploration of the life, work, and ongoing cultural impact of filmmaker Barbara Hammer – a pioneering artist who lived boldly, created urgently, and transformed cinema through her singular vision. Her films were an extension of herself: sensual, experimental, and unapologetically le***an, rooted in a profound desire for connection and an insistence on telling her own story.

Driven by her canon of over eighty films, a vast collection of unreleased archival materials, and extensive audio interviews, Brydie O’Connor’s portrait allows for Hammer’s voice and images to shine through, becoming both a tribute and an extension of her legacy.

If you are in Germany, join the screenings of BARBARA FOREVER opening in theaters on October 8!

LAST WEEK OF: CANDICE BREITZ
‘Hot Potato’
until 27.06.2026

ANAGRAMS, 2026

Politicians from across the ideological spectrum have participated in increasingly desperate efforts to control the public narrative. Staatsräson – the vaguely defined
and highly contentious doctrine that is routinely invoked to delegitimise political dissent – has been zealously weaponised against artists, musicians, philosophers, poets, writers and students.

In observance of current trends, Breitz has distilled a new shade of brown for use in the exhibition. All anagrams contain the same basic ingredients: BundesSans (the official typeface of the German federal government) and Staatsräsonbraun (a colour mixed in equal parts from black, red and gold).

Swing by the gallery, WED–SAT, 12–6 PM, for the final days of Candice Breitz's solo exhibition, and explore the artist's views on the inextricable entanglement of the aesthetic and the political.
