Participatory Performance with Andrea Geyer as part of the Long Night of Museums 2024

In the participatory performance “I want”, artist Andrea Geyer and several performers invite the audience to articulate what they want, need and demand from a museum in general and the Gropius Bau specifically.


Andrea Geyer’s project Manifest actively acknowledges and embraces the idea that a museum is made of many people: from visitors and staff to artists, that make and remake the museum every single day. 

Questioning existing hierarchies within museum culture, the work invites visitors to not only contemplate, but reimagine one’s own needs and desires in relation to institutions like the Gropius Bau.

How would you like to see yourself, your body, your views, ideas and experiences as you move within this institution? What are experiences that can only happen within the context of a museum? What do you need from a museum today? 

Andrea Geyer is a German-born artist living and working in New York today. She has shown her work internationally and is represented by Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne and Hales Gallery, New York.
