Museum Brandhorst is delighted to invite you to the opening of the exhibition “Carrying”.
Already in its title, “Carrying” points to how places carry certain (hi)stories. This exhibition project with its accompanying events activates various spaces inside and outside Museum Brandhorst. International artists, including Hêlîn Alas, Cana Bilir-Meier, Louise Lawler, Kate Newby, Tiffany Sia, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Leyla Yenirce, occupy historically charged sites—such as Cy Twombly’s “Lepanto” room or the “Türkentor” (Turks’ Gate). Architectural interventions, performances, and paintings, as well as sound and filmic works, engage with the museum and explore the entanglement of military and cultural power.
