Sarkis

As part of Featured 2026

Gorki
Am Festungsgraben 2, 10117 Berlin

The season opens with an encounter between Sarkis and Tadeusz Kantor.

In cooperation with the ­Kantor Museum Cricoteka Kraków, Sarkis transforms the Gorki’s stage and auditorium into an installation engaging with Kantor’s world. Kantor never separated theater, object, image, memory, and trauma. His stage objects carried history within them. 

Sarkis, who has profoundly shaped conceptual art since the 1960s and whose work is informed by ­Armenian histories of memory, invites Kantor into his artistic language. Following Sarkis, the new Gorki adopts the idea of invitation as an artistic form: an opening of political, historical, and aesthetic spaces.
