Kader Attia (*1970 in Dugny) grew up in France and Algeria. He rose to international fame not least with his contributions to the Biennale di Venezia in 2003/2017 and dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012. In 2022 he curated the 12th Berlin Biennale.
At the Berlinische Galerie he is showing two installations – “J’Accuse” (2016) and “The Object’s Interlacing” (2020) – where he continues to explore the concept “repair” and contemplates the return of cultural assets stolen during the colonial period. His work is complemented by selected collages made by Hannah Höch for her iconic series “From an Ethnographic Museum” (1924-1934).
