Stephanie Rosenthal, director of Berlin’s Gropius Bau, will leave to head the long-delayed Guggenheim Abu Dhabi:
, who both began their posts in January; and Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung at the helm of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, starting in January 2023.“With Stephanie Rosenthal’s departure, the Gropius Bau and Berlin’s art scene will lose one of its figureheads,” said Claudia Roth, Germany’s minister for culture. Rosenthal took the helm of the non-collecting institution in 2018 and revamped the historic building into a major hub.
“The decision to leave the Gropius Bau was a difficult one,” said Rosenthal in a statement. “I now look forward to the challenge and responsibility of building up and shaping a museum with an outstanding collection in a dynamic and exciting part of the world.” The cultural sector in Abu Dhabi has been booming in recent years, but it has also been called into question by human rights and labor organizations who’ve documented abysmal working conditions in the nation, particularly at the Saadiyat Island museums, where the Guggenheim is being built. There have been reports of the exploitation of migrant workers from South Asia, whose employers confiscated their passports, withheld salaries, and enforced inhumane around-the-clock work hours.
Rosenthal previously worked as chief curator of the Hayward Gallery in London for 10 years. She was also a curator at the Haus der Kunst in Munich and curated the 20th edition of the Sydney Biennale in 2016. Her final show at the Gropius Bau, a group exhibition titled “On Caring, Repairing, and Healing,” will open September 16.
