Fans of New Contemporary and Urban Art will be delighted to hear that the STROKE Urban Art Fair is moving from Munich to Berlin for its third edition this coming October. Not only the move from Munich to Berlin - the melting pot for urban and street art - but also the move from spring to fall makes a lot of sense to us because there will be a lot of art fairs and exhibitions taking place to that time during the Kunstherbst.
The venue will be The Station at Gleisdreieck that is also home to the Premium trade show during Fashion Week. We are particularily looking forward to their special exhibition When Bloggers become Artists where 10 bloggers were invited to create a piece of art that will be printed by Whitewall and exhibited at the fair. Participating blogs are LesMads, Amy&Pink, Ignant, Artschoolvets, Styleclicker, Uberding, Eve Without Adam, Whudat, Looky Looky and Suz is submitting something for iHeartBerlin.de.
After the jump you’l find a recap of the last STROKE.ARTFAIR as well as details for the next one.

George is an Australian curator who has put together many exhibitions here in Berlin for instance at her own gallery We Make Stuff Good at Stattbad or at Tape Modern and other places. Not being from Europe makes it a little tricky for her to stay here in Berlin, so her buddies of Stattbad are throwing a party for her at their new place called Pavilion which is right opposite Stattbad at Gerichtstr. 23. The profits should co-finance her visa and laywer. We wish her all the best!
And for those of you who are hungry for guestlists. We are raffling off tickets for the open air party Reisen Macht Den Kopf Frei in our Facebook group.
More parties for the coming days and the weekend after the jump!

Last Friday the second SKYY SWAP MARKET in Berlin took place at Stadtbad Oderberger. It was really phantastic and I’m glad Gina and I could be the hosts of this event with our Designer Scouts platform. Many of our designers have donated their pieces for a good cause, and many new ones we have come to collaborate with on this occasian. Amongst them C.Neeon, Esther Perbandt, Adddress, Moga E Mago, Mikenke, Blame, Von Bardonitz, Paula Immich, Howitzweissbach, Burkhardt/Möllmann, JULIAANDBEN and all the designers of the design collective The Offer. Thank you very much and of course also to the many bloggers that have submitted their outfits and came to the market. Impressions after the jump.

I have heard so much about this place. I always wanted to go, but I never really got quite round it. I’m talking about the Spreepark at Plänterwald. It’s that abandoned amusement park with a quite dramatic backstory. The owner and his son actually sit in prison for trying to smuggle drugs in one of their rides from Peru back to Berlin. It’s all really Hollywood actually.
This coming weekend I will finally have a chance to go to this mythical place. Luna Land is opening it’s doors there for a two-day party marathon with Tiefschwarz, M.A.N.D.Y, Matthew Johnson (live), Ame, Hugo, Un Homme et Une Femme, Crystalmafia, Joey Handsome and many more. A few more impression and the flyer after the jump. Win tickets in our facebook group.

Is Take That actually the only boyband where nobody turned out to be gay? More impressions of Last Days of Take That after the jump…

Oh, how I love the city… After the jump a charming little movie about Berlin from pilpop - impressively made to look like a stop-motion-animation.

Last Sunday me and Katja were so lucky as to get a table at the pop-up restaurant Pale Blue Door from London that has opened up in Berlin for only 12 nights. We were seated in the midth of a little quirky village of shacks and huts that were build into a garden right in the middle of the city. The charismatic Amanda Pet who is as mad as a box of hair entertained us through the evening with her hilarious dance numbers and flirtatious chats at the tables. The experiences was studded with so many cute little details, it was quite magical really. You should try to get a table in the coming 2 weeks. More impressions after the jump or in greater detail over at Travelettes.
UPDATE: It has been extended until September 12th!

The crazy monkey up there does not bear much resemblance to extraordinary Karin Dreijer Andersson off-of Fever Ray. But it’s her anyway and it’s the teaser image for her upcoming release. It is a cover of Peter Gabriel’s Mercy Street that she has already performed live a couple of times. It drops supposedly today. After the jump a nice recording of her live version.
UPDATE: Well, they seemed to have not met their deadline. But now here it is: Only for a short time downloadable for free here. A wonderful track.
