Shilpa Gupta's solo exhibition opens at Hamburger Bahnhof on Thursday. 'What Still Holds' is anchored by the monumental work TRUTH, which explores the intersection of language, power and control. The sculptural installation demonstrates how collective progress depends on protecting and questioning truth and Gupta's works are interspersed with works by Joseph Beuys.

  • Queer in the DDR

  • When: March 25-28

  • Where: KVOST, nGbK, Mitte Museum & Werkbund Archive

The term “queer” did not exist in the DDR but the queer experience definitely did. Spanning four galleries, ‘Queer in the DDR’ explores the changing biographies of nine different artists and their works. The exhibition highlights how differently the artists dealt with the political and social conditions of their time and explores the extent that their sexual orientation influenced their artistic practice.

The song of a nightingale is spectacular. However, this beautiful bird is becoming more endangered every year. Listen to the sound of nightingales, recorded on an early May night, in the woods of southern England using special ambisonic microphones, all in the gorgeous brutalist space at Reethaus.
