Gob Squad again try to uncover the layers of a reality that has become alien to us in order to find out how we can carry on. Join online!

The young British-Kenyan painter Michael Armitage (born 1984 in Nairobi) has quickly become one of the most exciting voices in contemporary art. In his large-format, nuanced oil paintings, he combines European and East African motifs and painting traditions. He draws inspiration from political events, pop culture, folklore and personal memories, weaving these into mythically charged and dreamlike images. This exhibition in Haus der Kunst is his first show in Germany.
