Deutschsprachige Tour: Two Roses and a Briar Pipe

Join Tarik Kentouche and Lorenz Liebig, co-directors of Berlin art space Scherben, for a German-language tour of 'Two Roses and a Briar Pipe,' a group exhibition featuring five established and emerging artists based in Berlin, Vienna, and Chicago. Whether you have just started learning German or are a native speaker, all are welcome!

Titled after an ominous still-life painting in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film DESPAIR, this exhibition brings together sculpture, installation, and photography that play with the staging and performance of national and social identities. Using artifice and routine, these works suggest a shared sense of psychological and political fragmentation.

This exhibition is presented by Scherben, Co-Prosperity, and the Goethe-Institut Chicago, and is co-curated by Tarik Kentouche, Lorenz Liebig, and Leah Gallant. It will open at Scherben (Berlin) in spring 2026.
