Two Roses and a Briar Pipe
Exhibition
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 in Scherben’s Berlin space in spring 2026.
