Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin explores Ulay's early work and his collaboration with Marina Abramović from 1976 to 1988.
The occasion is the 50th anniversary of Ulay's 1976 action, in which he took Carl Spitzweg's The Poor Poet from the museum to a Kreuzberg flat belonging to a guest-worker family. A version of the painting from the Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee is now shown in dialogue with that work. Also on view are photographic series such as S'he and FOTOTOT, with videos, sculptures, drawings, sketches and letters.
The live performance Imponderabilia (1977) takes place daily from 15:00 to 16:30. Curated by Klaus Biesenbach, Ricarda Bergmann and Alenka Gregorič.
