until 28.06. | #5065ARTatBerlin | EBENSPERGER BERLIN shows from Saturday, 2. May 2026 (Opening: 01.05.) the exhibition Remains by the artist Göksu Kunak.
Inspired by Yves Klein’s Anthropometries, Göksu Kunak’s REMAINS will be a live performance in which a BMW becomes both stage and canvas. A bodybuilder and a CrossFit athlete, fully coated in blue pigment, imprint their movements onto the vehicle—transforming physical exertion into a living painting.
Combining action painting with Matthew Barney’s focus on physical endurance, Kunak’s work treats muscle as sculptural material—fusing strength, surface, and gesture. A speculative narrative, written and performed live by Kunak, unfolds alongside the action, guiding the piece through a hyperreal fictional framework.
As an icon of contemporary culture and urban form, the BMW itself becomes an active performer: a sculptural body that absorbs, reflects, and advances the narrative.
Opening: Friday, 1. May 2026, 6–10 pm
Exhibition dates: Saturday, 2. May – Sunday, 28. June 2026
