Berlinische Galerie is currently showing 'Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris', a comprehensive exhibition of the contemporary artist’s work that runs until September 14, 2026. The presentation brings together about 150 drawings, videos, tattoo editions, and photographs, offering a broad view of an artist whom the museum describes as among the most important draughtsmen of the present day.
According to the museum’s programme information, Brandenburg, born in 1965, is known for detailed pencil drawings that reflect social problems as well as excess and consumption. The exhibition places those concerns at the centre of the display, using multiple media to extend the scope of a practice best known for drawing. The Berlinische Galerie newsletter also notes a new Marc Brandenburg edition in the museum shop, alongside a catalogue for 'Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris' published by Distanz Verlag in 2026.
The exhibition appears within the Berlinische Galerie’s broader programme, which focuses on modern art, photography and architecture. The museum, located at Alte Jakobstraße 124–128 in Berlin, presents the show as one of its current exhibitions and offers regular guided tours in German and English. Those tours are listed throughout August and September, including weekly weekend tours and English-language tours specifically titled 'Guided Tour in English: Marc Brandenburg'.
A related event in the programme is 'Brandenboogie #2', scheduled for August 14, 2026, described as tattoos and music with the artist in the context of 'Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris'. The museum also lists a curator’s tour of the exhibition on September 7, 2026, led by Ilka Voermann, curator of the exhibition and head of the graphic collection. These programme entries indicate that the show is being supported by interpretive and public-facing events over the course of the run.
The exhibition’s title suggests a focus on residue and material from the twentieth century, and the museum’s own description emphasises the tension between visual precision and social critique in Brandenburg’s work. The newsletter text frames the exhibition as a comprehensive survey, while the calendar page confirms its duration and the range of public programmes attached to it.
Berlinische Galerie’s visitor information lists opening hours from Wednesday to Monday, 10 am to 6 pm, with the museum closed on Tuesdays. Standard admission is €12, with reduced admission at €7, and the exhibition 'Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris' remains on view until September 14, 2026.
