Marking twenty years since artist, writer and performer Vaginal Davis made Berlin her home, Gropius Bau presents the first comprehensive solo exhibition of her work in Germany. In her expansive oeuvre, punk meets glamour, queer activism meets Black counter-culture and resistance meets desire. Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt features large-scale installations, paintings, video and film works, zines, writing, music and performances, offering an overview of Davis’ practice and artistic collaborations. In the exhibition, the Berlin-based CHEAP Kollektiv (Vaginal Davis, Daniel Hendrickson, Susanne Sachsse and Marc Siegel, often with featured guests) presents the installation Choose Mutation, including photographs by Annette Frick. Fabelhaftes Produkt invites you into the universe of Vaginal Davis, populated by literary heroines, mythical figures and real icons.

Initiated by Moderna Museet, Stockholm, in collaboration with Gropius Bau, Berlin, and MoMA PS1, New York
