Discover Maria Pinińska-Bereś: Under the Pink Flag in English

On November 25, 2026, the Kunstmuseum Bochum invites you to a one-hour guided tour in English through the exhibition Maria Pinińska-Bereś — Under the Pink Flag. From 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, visitors will receive a concentrated insight into the multifaceted work of an extraordinary Polish artist of the 20th century.

Sculture, Installation, and Performance in Dialogue

Maria Pinińska-Bereś combined sculpture, installation, and performance into a distinct artistic language. Her works poetically, humorously, and at the same time politically address femininity, the body, the domestic sphere, and societal expectations. The English-speaking city and museum tour makes central works of the retrospective accessible and places them within local and international art history.

The Color Pink as an Artistic Sign

A recurring element in the artist's work is the color pink. In the exhibition, it does not appear as a harmless decoration, but as a conscious counterpoint to the ubiquitous red of communist Poland. Pink refers to the feminine, the private, and the body, thus becoming a significant sign of social criticism.

A Retrospective with Historical Context

The exhibition showcases important milestones of Pinińska-Bereś’s artistic and emancipatory work. Her pieces tell the story of an artist who carved her own path within an authoritarian system and expanded the boundaries of traditional sculpture. The long-standing perception of her work in the shadow of her husband Jerzy Bereś is also made visible in the exhibition context.

Kunstmuseum Bochum as a Place of Discovery

The Kunstmuseum Bochum presents the retrospective from October 24, 2026, to March 14, 2027, in collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Lucerne. The exhibition was curated by Heike Munder and Jarosław Suchan together with Julia Lerch Zajączkowska. The tour offers cultural enrichment for international guests, art enthusiasts, and anyone who wishes to experience contemporary art in English.

Conclusion: Experience Art History in an Understanding and Lively Way
