The Wende Museum is thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition Counter/Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency, a groundbreaking offering that features historical objects in conversation with contemporary artworks from across the globe.
This dynamic exhibition will explore historical and currently evolving aspects of surveillance and countersurveillance, drawing from a diverse range of geographical and sociological contexts and countries as wide-ranging as Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Palestine, Romania, and the United Kingdom.
Counter/Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art.
The Wende is also participating in the PST ART Climate Impact Program.
The Museum is temporarily closed for installation of Counter/Surveillance as well as Undercurrents II: Archives and the Making of Soviet Jewish Identity, an exhibition telling the story of how an underground community of dissident publishers ignited a cultural revival among Soviet Jews that spread around the world, as well as a new installation by Felix Quintana in our East German guardhouse, Donde Nace El Agua (Where The Water is Born). Stay tuned for more details on these offerings in the coming weeks!
