# Josef Kaiser: *Building for the GDR*

Aug 28, 2026 – Feb 1, 2027 · on view

A survey of East German architect Josef Kaiser (1910–1991), whose buildings include Kino International on Berlin’s Karl-Marx-Allee.

Drawings, photographs, films and models follow Kaiser’s work from 1950 to 1970 in the collectives behind the GDR’s prestige state buildings, many now protected landmarks, and the political and aesthetic frictions around them. Contemporary artists Veronika Kellndorfer, Karsten Konrad and Tracey Snelling add works responding to his legacy.
