Inside the vibrant Wrangelkiez a new restaurant called Eckstück opened recently. Its walls are covered by artwork of Berlin’s countless street artists. Even if some of the graffiti work does not reflect my taste, the work of Pabo and Hr. v. Bias is really beautiful. The menu consist mainly of pizza and the atmosphere has something of a student canteen. For all fans of street art the visit of Eckstück provides a good overview of the styles of many Berlin-based street artists. More pictures and the address, after the jump.

For all of you who love to customize your fashion magazine while waiting in the train or at a café for the as usual unpunctual date this exhibition at the gallery Camera Work will kick your ass. Two photographers for the Italian Vouge, Tina Berning & Michaelangelo di Battista, decided to go further then the standard beauty photography. So their FACE/project was born. To see more pictures and the address of the gallery take your face after the jump.

To try out new restaurants is more of a couple thing. Single women don’t eat anything anyway until they caught a new man and single men do not understand why they should spend so much money for food if they can still eat a lot cheaper at the snack-bar at the corner where it always tastes best. Okay perhaps it’s not always like that. But the little kick of the new thing can be enjoyed far better with the loved one than with friends or relatives. Visiting the Three Sisters will be a kick that I’ll save for later for a while. In morbid Casino of the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, this restaurant opened its doors to visitors not so long ago. If you are ready to engage with new stuff then you will find the address after the jump.

On Saturday we went to a beautiful picnic on the peninsula Alt Stralau. There we got ourselves acquainted with the new Lands’ End Canvas collection. We could even take two pieces from the collection in exchange for old stuff and mispurchases. I myself have never been so far to the peninsula Altstralau and can recommend the place for beautiful shore walks and a visit to the park. For the more romantic boys and girls there are also small rowing boats for hire. More photographic impressions, information on how to reach the peninsula and how you can win pieces of the canvas collection after the jump.

Surely you’ve seen the neon installation by Maurizio Nannucci on the facade of the Altes Museum which states: “All Art has been contemporary”. Even though this is now pulled down, it probably inspired me a little bit. When I looked at the following designs from the collection of Astrid Andersen from London, I thought: “All fashion will be vintage.“ Can you think why? I have a certain feeling about it. If it wasn’t already I would like to copyright this sentence. Or opensource it? More pictures from this strange but great collection which I found at the very nice blog Ignant after the jump.

While others dance the way they feel I will again not be able to participate to one of my favourite Contemporary Dance- festivals for holiday reasons. But I hope that some of you guys might take the chance to visit one of the several performances, workshops and lectures that the Tanz im August Festival offers. So stretch yourself and make your stiff body ready for some ballet action and I will think of you while sitting in the sun. I promise. A trailer of the festival with some nice Berlin impressions after the jump.

A picnic in a beautiful park always has something very mundane. You feel a little like in the old days where you drove to the country-side in a coach and sat on a white or red-checked picnic blanket. There were times when the team of iheartberlin was more inclined to those kind of amusements. Apparently these times will return, thanks to Lands’ End Canvas, who has invited us to a mysterious picnic in the park where we get the chance to change some of our old garments with the new Canvas collection. For that they have already sent us the most important accessory: a picnic basket. Because they have also thought of our readers, you get the chance to win a second picnic basket including two invitations to the Canvas Picnic. How to win this nice present you can read after the jump.

Madhouse Berlin: Therapy Session Nr. 5
This city makes us hungry. And now when the resources are getting thinner we have to give up humanity to encounter the beast in us. But are the lacerating beasts the ones to blame? Or are we the sickos who just stand there and watch like once upon a time in a fairy tale with a girl named Kitty Genovese. Or was her name Kitty Jo? Just can’t remember. For more of these thoughts and more carnal photography read on in German.

They were here and they were hot. The Scissor Sisters concert last Tuesday was amazing. Not just because of the hot perfomances they delivered but also for the amazing outfits and cool attitude they had on stage. The new album is inspired by Berlin and they seemed to be really happy to play here. I wonder why I never met the frontman who was here for one year (probably on sexholiday and the whole time in the Berghain darkroom). Celebrity guests like Peaches and the frontman of R.E.M showed up to give the sisters their support. I am just wondering why Universal is such a bitch and never gives us a photo-pass or any kind of support, not even letting us into the press area of their website. I would have loved to take some pictures of the night and showed them to you.
