CCA Berlin is pleased to host an evening of readings and performances in celebration of the life and work of Pippa Garner, organized by Kunstverein München and Bierke Books.

Born in 1942, the U.S.-American artist and author Pippa Garner died late last year. She used to say that, “the more success I get, the closer to death I get. I can’t have both: success and life.” For over five decades, Garner pushed back against systems of consumerism, marketing, and waste, creating a dense body of work that included drawing, performance, sculpture, video, photography, design, and installation. As her efforts gained increasing attention during her final years, audiences hailed her as a prescient icon, a comedic truth teller, and radical trans pioneer. 

Join us for an evening honoring the life and work of the late Pippa Garner including readings of her work and performances by those who knew her.
