Monopol verlost 5 × 2 Tickets für Marina Abramović im Gropius Bau

Monopol magazine is giving away 5 × 2 tickets to Marina Abramović's exhibition "Balkan Erotic Epic" at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. The show, which opened in 2025, explores erotic energy through Balkan myths, rituals, and folklore, combining new video works with historical pieces from the 1970s onward, including installations, sculptures, and live performances.

Gropius Bau öffnet abends länger

The Gropius Bau in Berlin has extended its evening opening hours by one hour, now open until 8 PM (closed Tuesdays), due to high demand for its exhibition of performance artist Marina Abramović. The show, titled "Balkan Erotic Epic," opened two weeks ago and drew long queues from the start. It features both new and older works, including performances where Abramović carved a star into her abdomen or lay in a burning installation until losing consciousness. The exhibition explores eroticism, politics, Balkan folklore, sexual energy, death, the political dimension of the body, and the Yugoslav wars.
