DEEDS CALENDAR: The Rise and Fall of Erik Schmidt – KINDL – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst | until 01.02.2026
Erik Schmidt’s comprehensive retrospective brings together his well-known paintings with drawings, videos, performances, photographs, and collages from three decades. Organized into thematic chapters, the exhibition unfolds a complex, personal universe and, as a multifaceted self-portrait, addresses questions of (queer) identity, community, and individuality. In multi-layered overlaps, the artist’s sometimes brutal, often humorous view of norms and social orders is revealed.
