The attraction to small but funny design objects seems to be in the family, as my mother posseses kind of everything from Alessi’s kitchen stuff. These little plant-mosters caught my eyes at a fashion store in mitte called Storia. But you can buy them also online directly from the designer Matteo Cibic. What’s intruiging about the Domsais is the humanization of plants through design. I am always into it when a design aesthetic not only manages to be funny but also creates something that is somehow alive and let’s me think about the frontier of our own existence. Are we ourselfe having a glassbubble to protect us from the reality? Some of these days it definetly feels like it. A special edition of the Domsais in gold after the jump. Read on - Weiterlesen »

Internet and amateur pornography seem to be a hot topic right now as I noticed browsing through my usual sites and blogs. Castor and Pollux discovered an interesting artist working with amateur clips and Amy&Pink made a list of the best sexual Tumblr blogs out there. Well, I am not the porn expert in town but some days ago a met one of the PR ladies of the Berlinale for a beer and she told me that there was a really hot Mitte-hippster-trashy-artsy porn movie from Berlin showed at the Berlinale and that i should definetly write about it. Since I am such a good catholic boy I will definetly not watch Bedways from RP Kahl myself but I asume that there might be some nasty little artsy pigs between our readers who might like it. More images and the trailer after the jump. Read on - Weiterlesen »

There are some theater and dance companies that make me wish to have pursuit other career options. Since I am way too old to become a dancer I have to limit myself to watching their incredible perfomance and perhaps review them. One special company which is such a pain to watch because they are so incredibly good that you wish you could be on stage with them is the Costanza Macras ensemble Dorky Park. If you never heard of them and wish to experience my unbareable craving to be involved, they are playing their new piece Megalopolis this weekend at Schaubühne. More pictures, a trailer, a summary and details after the jump.

No city gives street artists so much credit like Berlin does. I love to see tourist photographing little Lucys with her cat or other artworks. One really nice artist whose work was on my radar since he did the design colaboration with the scarf designer Aschön is PABO. PABO’s distinctive portraits have been appearing at carefully selected spots around Berlin.
He will show his work this Friday at Superplan. This little Gallery is not only known for its urban inspired exhibitions but also for quite affordable prints. Take a look after the jump for more work of PABO and the flyer of the exhibition.

Listening to Jelena Kuljics dark voice is like drinking all the suffering in the world. So sad and beautiful is her way to let the music break into you. She is playing one of the main characters in the small independent Opera Wozzeck from David Marton at Prater. After seeing this piece four times I finally get the chance to recommend it to you. The dates and the address after the jump.

Our psychiatric disorders are no reason to be ashamed anymore. It seems obvious to carry your manic behaviour to the next night live appointment, play tennis with your aggresive compulsion and share your iPod with the strange voice inside your head. This cult behaviour towards our psychiatric problems seem to be captured by the art of Maren Esdars who knows how to illustrate our phobias like the most dangerous but beautiful accessories. More of her poisonous beauties and information about the exhibition after the jump.

You are all complaining about the weather? I know it’s dreadful! But what can we do? Well, there is a nice and really pleasant way to carry a piece of sun with you everyday. Without wanting to sound spiritual or juju, I found a little time of peace in Yoga. And since I am practicing Sun Yoga which is a special Yoga in a heated room I also have great health benefits. The first few times I went I always thought I am going to die before the lesson is over but afterwards you feel like you arrived in heaven. Even in dark times it gave me a smile and a little heat inside to bring out in the cold. For everybody who thinks I am exaggerating I recommend to try out their Starter Special. More infos on their website.

If you are not on the guestlist at least you need a guestlist attitude. As it would be the most normal thing on the planet that your name is on that exclusive 30 names list. I tried at least as I went to the very special vernissage of Wolfgang Tillmans at the Panorama Bar last Friday. To get in I simply and very succesfully told the doorman that I was personally invited by Wolfgang himself. So to be bold sometimes works. If you want to know more about this artsy event you better read on in German!

During the Fashion Week my lovely co-author Suz and I had the chance to write a column for a small newspaper called Fashion Weeks daily which is part of berlinfashion.tv. For everybody who missed it you can read it here and and see the pictures we did for the column at our most beloved shop in Friedrichshain, Episoda.

While Indian Cobras are dying because of polluted water, Berlin is expecting a generous amount of snakes this week. Yes! Berlin Fashion Week is coming again and I guess you are all dying for the little guestlist places at the upcoming events. How to survive the poisonous looks and the evil remarks about your outfit which is always last season no matter what you do? Well I got myself an evil looking but sweet as honey bodyguard and some toxic outfits myself. If you prefer a more peaceful yet trendy way, I recommend you take a look at the Yoga collection from the new upcoming Berlin-based label Umasan. For more lookbook pictures and informations about their flagship store opening after the jump.
