Dennis Brzek is Curator of Contemporary Art at the Albertinum, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Germany. In addition to curating large-scale exhibitions, most recently “Wolfgang Tillmans: Weltraum” (2025), he develops collection displays and acquisition strategies as Head of the Collection of Contemporary Art. He currently leads the research and exhibition initiative “At Eye Level: Rethinking the Albertinum” (2025–2026), which sets out to develop a new narrative for the museum by reflecting on changing definitions of the public.
Previously, Brzek was Curator at Fluentum, Berlin, a private institution dedicated to time-based media founded in 2019. He contributed to building Fluentum’s focus on commissioning new film and video works and curated solo and group exhibitions with artists including Loretta Fahrenholz, Calla Henkel & Max Pitegoff, Patricia L. Boyd, Peter Wächtler, Richard Sides, Simon Lässig, and D’Ette Nogle, among others.
Brzek studied art history and philosophy, and earned an MA in Curatorial Studies from Städelschule, subsequently holding a research and teaching position in the Department of Art History at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. In his curatorial practice, Brzek focuses on approaches driven by artists, aiming to make institutional frameworks more porous to their needs.
