GfZK in collaboration with IMMA – Irish Museum of Modern Art and European Kunsthalle presents Sarah Pierce: Scene of the Myth curated by Rike Frank.

With Scene of the Myth, the Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig (GfZK) shows the first comprehensive solo exhibition by artist Sarah Pierce in Germany from January 26 – May 26, 2024. The exhibition, previously shown at the Irish Museum of Modern Art Dublin (IMMA), brings together eight expansive installations, performances and video works created over a period of 20 years. Taking as its starting point the difficult relationships between the narratives we reproduce and those we want to leave behind, Scene of the Myth asks what it means to gather, reflect and act in a community. Numerous works relate to the artist’s interest in the figure of the student and the fragile relationship between learning and teaching, politics and art-making. Students are regular participants in the performances and demonstrations.
