Really happy to have Berlin Is a Trap included in HOT POTATO, the current solo exhibition by Candice Breitz at KOW Berlin.
The exhibition reflects on Berlin as a political and cultural space, exploring protest, censorship, artistic freedom and the growing tensions surrounding public expression in Germany today.
Throughout the exhibition, the figure of the bear appears repeatedly as symbol, performance, warning and survivor. I was very proud to see my poster exist within that wider visual conversation.
What originally began as a response to the contradictions of Berlin unexpectedly found a deeper resonance inside the show.
A city that still attracts artists from everywhere, while increasingly leaving many questioning what can still be said openly within cultural spaces.
The bear performance especially stayed with me as a highlight of the show, moving through the space like a restless symbol of Berlin itself, vulnerable, trapped, confrontational and impossible to ignore.
The posters are also available for sale as part of the exhibition, and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has bought one so far and supported the project.
Massive respect and huge thank you to Candice and the team at KOW for including the work.
On view until June 27 🐻🖤
