MUSIC OF THE MIND

Since the 1950s, Yoko Ono has been ahead of her time, leaving her mark on visual arts, music and activism. To honour her groundbreaking work, Gropius Bau presents the comprehensive solo exhibition YOKO ONO: MUSIC OF THE MIND. Spanning the first floor and the atrium of Gropius Bau, the show brings together over 200 works from seven decades, revealing her radical approach to language, art and participation that continues to speak to the present moment.

New Book Series

The Practice – What Moves Artists

The Practice – What Moves Artists is a new book series by Gropius Bau, that invites artists to showcase a practice that they pursue, that has influenced them or that has been with them for a long time.
In the first volume of the series, On Making Less, the artist Rirkrit Tiravanija compiles various ideas and approaches to this topic.

Two bright red books lie on a light grey background, printed in dark blue lettering "Über das Weniger Machen. Rirkrit Tiravanija" and "On Making Less. Rirkrit Tiravanija".
