Even if summer is still a little way off, one of our favorite project spaces officially declares the season open on Saturday (07.06.2025). The Tropez team is once again bringing an exhibition, including performances and workshops, to the Sommerbad Humboldthain. The concept has proven its worth, as we can no longer imagine a visit to the outdoor pool in Wedding without art between a dip in the water and a break for chips. Parasite is this year’s title. We can expect a summer of non-conformity, in which new and unexpected things are created, and thus also an eloquent image for Tropez as a space that breaks the rules of classical exhibiting. It starts in the entrance area, where artist Amine Habki, known for his textile works, has installed colorful disruptors by the lockers. Some artists focus on outdoor pool culture in its purest form. Maya Mann’s giant swimming ring sculpture, which has already been exhibited at the Whitney Museum in New York, can’t be imagined anywhere else but near the edge of the pool. Get active on the new mini-golf course by the Sundays collective, which also functions as a walk-in work of art. Dancer Tilhenn Klapper translates the open-air chaos and noise into her choreographies, while Arthur Chruszcz takes over the sunbathing lawn with his pantomime piece. Even if we are still dreaming of 35 degrees, with Tropez, summer has officially arrived.
