MARGARIDA GARCIA & BERT TIMMERMANS - GEBRAUCHSMUSIK (Exhibition)

GEBRAUCHSMUSIK is the ironic title that brings together recent work by Portuguese artist Margarida Garcia (Lisbon 1977) and Belgian artist Bert Timmermans (Kapellen 1976). Timmermans is showing his new series “Die Ruckkehr Arno Brekers. Apologien für den leckenden Körper”, while Garcia is exhibiting her “Balaclava” and “Modellbau” series in Belgium for the first time. Both artists are long-term partners-in-crime of Graindelavoix and Björn Schmelzer, who curates the exhibition. Although seemingly very different, this exhibition mainly reveals similar artistic strategies and resonances in the way in which the history of image and ideology is recycled and sabotaged.

On August 14 at 8 p.m., Luís Neiva (Spirit is a Bone) & Björn Schmelzer (Graindelavoix) will discuss the exhibition in more detail followed by a conversation with the artists.

Open on 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18-20, 21, 25-27 August 2025
