In keeping with the future-oriented vision she has sustained from her first days overseeing Performance Space’s momentous transition back into its renovated home in 2017, Schlenzka sees this change as an opportunity for the historically significant experimental and interdisciplinary organization to continue to invite new voices, communities, and practices to the fore.
Schlenzka will be relocating to Berlin, returning to family and the first city she called home, after living in the U.S. for over two decades, and will be stepping into the role of Director of the exhibition hall Gropius Bau. The Gropius Bau, part of the Berliner Festspiele, is one of Europe’s most important exhibition venues. With its acclaimed exhibitions of contemporary and modern art, the Gropius Bau has built an international reputation. There, she will have the opportunity to bring her experience with performance, thematic programming, and creating new avenues for community and artist involvement to a vast stage and institution that serves hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.
