On Watch in the Quiet Restroom

The cuts to the cultural budget of the city of Berlin have serious consequences for many artists, projects, and institutions. The municipal galleries in Neukölln also have to reduce their programs and make savings in many areas in order to continue compensating the work of the artists.

Alex Lebus will personally supervise her exhibition Holy Shit at Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch on October 5th and 19th, from 12 to 6 pm — a vigil for the preservation of an open, lively, courageous, and socially sustainable cultural city of Berlin.

The exhibition transforms the former public lavatory into an atmospherically dense parcours where sacred and profane, corporeal and spiritual, converge in manifold ambiguities. Through works that oscillate between devotional image and critical rupture, Lebus addresses the entanglement of faith, body, and public space. Her presence on site offers a unique opportunity to encounter the exhibition not only through its works, but also in dialogue with the artist herself.
