Berlin’s most academically inclined art space has a tranche of provocative new exhibitions that will easily consume an entire afternoon. Santiago Sierra’s photos of teeth of individuals from marginalised communities grimace out from the building’s façade, and inside there’s an acute and visceral exhibition focusing on the “body” of the Italian director and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Filled with original source material, including shocking photos of his murdered body, the exhibition offers a distressing reflection on the relentless persecution he suffered as an advocate for gay sexual freedom and working-class culture. The show is hugely informative, and there’s a chance to see his films in selected cinemas around Berlin. ★★★★
- n.b.k., Chausseestr. 128-129, Mitte, through Nov 10, details.
