Discovering Maria Pinińska-Bereś: Art between Pink, Body, and Resistance

The tour of the exhibition Maria Pinińska-Bereś — Under the Pink Flag provides an intense access to the work of an extraordinary Polish artist at the Kunstmuseum Bochum. On December 27, 2026, sculptures, installations, and performances will be at the center, questioning femininity, body images, and social roles with poetic power and subtle humor.

Pink as an Artistic Sign

Maria Pinińska-Bereś used the color pink not as a decorative gesture, but as a conscious counter-image to the political and social order of her time. In her works, the feminine, the domestic, and the body come together. The tour reveals how seemingly gentle forms evolve into a precise and self-determined critique of conventions.

Dialogue between Sculpture, Installation, and Performance

The exhibition showcases key stages of the artistic and emancipatory work from 1931 to 1999. As a trained sculptor, Pinińska-Bereś expanded classical sculpture to include installations, actions, and performances in public space. Thus, the museum tour becomes a multifaceted discovery experience between material, space, movement, and memory.

An Important Voice in Polish Art

Pinińska-Bereś worked long in the shadow of her husband Jerzy Bereś, whose works are also represented in the collection of the Kunstmuseum Bochum. The retrospective places her autonomous position in Polish art history at the center and connects local exhibition experience with a European perspective on feminist and political art creation.

A Special Museum Afternoon in Bochum

The one-hour tour begins at 3:00 PM and takes visitors through the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bochum on Kortumstraße. Guests will experience a culturally informed discussion about historical contexts, artistic strategies, and the sensual impact of the exhibited works.
