Gisèle Vienne and the Puppets of the Avant-Garde

The Georg Kolbe Museum is delighted to present the artistic work of the Austrian-French artist, choreographer and director Gisèle Vienne (*1976) for the first time in Berlin in fall 2024. This exhibition will take place as part of Berlin Art Week and is part of a joint project with Haus am Waldsee, where the artist will present a solo exhibition, and Sophiensælen where the piece “Crowd” will be shown on stage. In the exhibition at the Georg Kolbe Museum, Gisèle Vienne’s contemporary works enter into a transhistorical dialog with works by female artists of the European avant-garde. This encounter provides unique insights into the multifaceted use of puppets in art.
