German Theater 2010-2020
- Calla Henkel & Max Pitegoff
The exhibition is curated by Nicolas Brulhart + Fabrice Stroun
German Theater 2010-2020 is the first survey of the work of Calla Henkel (1988, Minneapolis) and Max Pitegoff (1987, Buffalo). The exhibition offers an insight into a decade of production during which the artists developed both a renewed conceptual approach to photography and the construction of social situations within the Berlin cultural scene, including running bars and staging theater plays. Alongside a large selection from their most significant photo series, the exhibition pays tribute to the collaborative character of their enterprise.
Berlin, already an established bohemian cultural capital, has more recently become a fertile environment for the new digital economy and its forms of consumption. Henkel and Pitegoff’s oeuvre spins the allegory of a historical moment in which precarity and gentrification function as two sides of the same coin.
