Pauline Curnier Jardin, winner of the Preis der Nationalgalerie 2019, is presenting the extensive video installation Fat to Ashes, which she produced for her first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, in the historic halls of Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin. A large-scale amphitheatre encompasses the film installation as the centre of the spectacle, and thus transformations, processions, and practised performance in ritualised excess are the content and formal attributes of Pauline Curnier Jardin's Fat to Ashes.

In the series "Open Stores," the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart invites artists to work with its collection. The artists Anja Kirschner (b. 1977) and David Panos (b. 1971) from London will be presenting their "Open Stores" selection in correspondence with their new film "The Empty Plan," which was produced with support from the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. The protagonist of the film-to be premiered in Germany within this framework-is the German author, dramatist and director Bertolt Brecht. In their selection of works, primarily from the store of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart's Department of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Kirschner and Panos explore the complex and ever-changing relationship between artistic forms and political movements in the critical period leading up to World War II.
