Crying in Public is the first solo exhibition held in a German art institution by the Portuguese artist, Pedro Barateiro. Barateiro's diverse oeuvre is not tied to one medium. In his works, including sculptures, drawings, films, texts and performances, he engages with the present state of the world, saturated with information, and the sheer complexity of dealing with this wealth of data. His works question the mechanisms and structures of post-capitalist societies, with a central focus on the relationship between language, image and technology. Barateiro uses poetry as a tool to decolonise our bodies and minds. In a variety of ways, his works address a sense of estrangement in society, as well as that of the individual. His art is characterised by a wistful longing for a perfect place where community and affection innocently confront the wholesale commodification of life.

In the guided tour, Jana Peplau will give insights into Pedro Barateiro's artistic positions and invites visitors to engage with the works together.
