Current

The exhibition plays with the differing perceptions of sexuality in Judaism. Contemporary art, traditional artifacts, film, and new media illustrate a range of Jewish positions that have been discussed for centuries. From marriage and procreation, via desire, taboos, and the questioning of social norms, to the eroticism of spirituality, the exhibition presents the whole spectrum of Jewish attitudes.

The exhibition is presented in cooperation with the Jewish Museum Amsterdam.

Over a period of more than 19 months between August 1943 and April 1945, the hitherto unknown German Jewish author Curt Bloch produced a unique work of creative resistance while in hiding in the Netherlands: Het Onderwater Cabaret.

Curt Bloch’s hope is now finally being fulfilled: The exhibition presents all 95 original issues of the Het Onderwater Cabaret, accompanied by insight into the production of their covers.

The Jewish Museum Berlin is now showing the first-ever large-scale exhibition on Jewish experiences in East Germany, on display until 14 January 2024. With a focus on cultural history and drawing on documentary research, the show delves into a little-examined aspect of German-Jewish history, bringing together visual art, film, and literature, as well as multifaceted biographies and exceptional artifacts.

Artist Maya Schweizer won this year’s DAGESH Art Award for her video installation Sans histoire. The prize is awarded by the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) and DAGESH: Jewish Art in Context. In her artwork, Schweizer engages with the Jewish Museum Berlin as a site of ritualized remembrance. Reflecting on the award’s question “What Now? From Dystopias to Utopias,” her answer is open—sans histoire: both without history and without story.

With "Paris Magnétique. 1905–1940", the Jewish Museum Berlin is presenting the first major exhibition in Germany devoted to the Jewish artists of the School of Paris. Featuring around 120 works in ten sections, the exhibition charts how migrant, often marginalized perspectives from the Parisian avant-garde have influenced today’s under­standing of Western modernist art.

03.09.2021 – 24.04.2022 Zerheilt. Ein foto­grafischer Essay von Frédéric Brenner. Frédéric Brenner. Fotografie. Repro Zerheilt, Frédéric Brenner

Following more than forty years of photographic storytelling of Jewish life around the world, Frédéric Brenner's new photographic essay, Zerheilt: Haeled to Pieces, portrays individuals – newcomers, old timers, converts, immigrants and others – who have made Berlin their home or are just passing through. Via a series of fragmentary insights into this incubator of paradoxes and dissonances, he reflects on conflicting narratives of redemption.

The show brings together more than fifty works, including video installations, photographs, and neon works.
