description: "The SCHIRN presents a major solo exhibition of the artist duo Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca. Among the highlights is a newly developed production focusing on the “Straight Edge” scene in Germany. For over a decade, Wagner and de Burca have been creating video works and installations in collaboration with artists and collectives operating outside the established field of contemporary art."
