Opening | Christoph Schlingensief: Es ist nicht mehr mein Problem, macht eure Scheiße alleine

With Free Admission to the Exhibition

Join us on Thursday, 8 October 2026, to celebrate the opening of Christoph Schlingensief: Es ist nicht mehr mein Problem, macht eure Scheiße alleine at Gropius Bau with free admission to the exhibition and a DJ set. Over the course of his artistic career, Christoph Schlingensief relentlessly confronted the absurdities of the present. With Es ist nicht mehr mein Problem, macht eure Scheiße alleine, Gropius Bau presents his visionary work that spans the range of his œuvre from sensational political actions to radical stage productions and the coalescence of performance and visual art.

The exhibition is not a retrospective in the classic sense of the word; instead, it brings Schlingensief’s central bodies of work into conversation, highlighting the ways in which his artistic strategies permeated one another and constantly challenged audiences to take active positions. Thus, in the artist’s first comprehensive exhibition in Berlin in more than a decade, the focus is not on the completed work, but on the process of questioning, doubting and failing that characterised his practice. As Schlingensief himself put it, “One can fail with enthusiasm, joy and intent. […] Much will happen if one manages to accept that failure is necessary to harnessing strength.”
