Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt
Press releases
Marking 20 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 counterculture and resistance meets desire. Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt holds the full scope of Ms. Davis’ practice, while also giving center stage to her many collaborative projects, with the Berlin-based art collective CHEAP and New York-based artist Jonathan Berger, among many others.
