Tomorrow night there is going to be a very special installation by Russian artist Alexei Kostroma opening at Wilde Gallery that we would like to recommend. The artist has lived through quite a wild history lately. About a year ago he was shot by his jealous wife in the head and in his right hand. He miraculously survived and his hand recovered. His installation Feathered Chaos is a celebration of the events in life, both good and bad, that are beyond our control, a poignant reminder that in order to overcome life’s unpredictable and seemingly insurmountable hardships, all we need to do is lighten up. Jump after the jump for infos now and into the feathers tomorrow. As Russian tradition requires there will be a lot of Wodka…

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.

Some of you who have been following us for a while now already know that I am a big fan of Friedrichshain-based artists Mateo and Johan Potma and their wonderfully absurd, yet cuddely monsters of the Zozoville Gallery. They just released their brand new 2010 calendar which is once again a charming collection of creatures you would never have imagined. Tomorrow they will also host the opening party of their new exhibition The Make Believe Show including a silent auction, food and drinks. Of course you can also get the calendar there or order it here. More images and details after the jump.

Some of you might know the iconic illustrations of Dutch artist and designer Parra from his limited edition shirts and hoodies by Rockwell. This Thursday he will open his first solo show in Berlin at Pool Gallery in Mitte. If you prefer the t-shirts over his paintings you should drop by his pop-up shop at Wood Wood that will be open for the length of the exhibition starting this Saturday. The details after the jump.

A few months back Danish artist Lars Bjerre presented a massive selection of his work in his first solo show here in Berlin. I was not only amazed by the size of his artworks and the amazing space he was showing them in, but also by his versatility that goes far beyond what you can see here in my posts. I know a lot of you went to see his critical take on society, so I’m sure you will be interested to hear that this Thursday he will open his second show at Komet Gallery in Mitte. More art and details after the jump.

Sneewittchen - Camille Rose Garcia, 2009
On my usual hunt for new things to blog about I once again browsed my frequented galleries if they had anything new going on. And as luck has it one of my favorite galleries - the Merry Karnowski Gallery at Torstrasse - is opening a brand new fabulous group show by the name Sister Cities - Los Angeles / Berlin tomorrow! For 2 months and a half they will exhibit the works of twelve talented artists form both cities - one of which is Camille Rose Garcia who’s sad icebear I am still in love with. Go look after the jump for more art and details.

Mode 2
This Friday, one of my favourite galleries in Mitte Lucas Carrieri Art Gallery and Urban Affairs extended will be hosting a vernissage to introduce their latest collabo Post Graffiti - a collection of seven internationally renowned street and graffiti artists from the likes of Sharp, Delta, Mode 2, Eron, Neon, Ebon Heath and Czarnobyl, most of whom have added their creative talent to the Berlin street art landscape and beyond. And if you still think I’m going on about chemical elements and Greek alphabets, then slap me silly, call me Sally and check here and here before you set down your aerosol cans and flick to more pics after the jump.

Hi my name is Diwa and I’m a font fan. Yes, I won’t deny it. It’s true. There are a few things that pull at my heart-strings such as the smell of coffee, art, flea markets, beaches, bubbles and fonts. You know the feeling, it starts your tummy and runs up your spine Sometimes it ends in a high. Like buying a new pair of shoes. Or lying on your favourite beach. Or reading something on your favourite font.
And so, I was very excited as my attention was recently drawn towards the Buchstabenmuseum (Museum of the Letter) in Mitte. They’re real font heroes in my opinion. If you’re curious to know why, then read on after the jump.

Twilight Forest Explosion by Camille Rose Garcia
Last weekend we took a little stroll through the galleries of Berlin and found some wonderful treasures we would like to share. After falling in love with a painting of Nicoletta Ceccoli at Strychnin we came across the Merry Karnowsky Gallery, a relatively new art space at Torstraße, that currently hosts it’s first anniversary exhibition Hard Left 2 that was also part of the character walk of the Pictopia Festival. The first thing that caught my attention there was a big mural covered with a set of paintings with Blue & Joy, two characters invented by Italien artists Fabio la Fauci and Daniele Sigalot. But our favorite piece of the day was hidden in the back room: The enchanted ice bear by Camille Rose Garcia that had us coming back to that room and admire it several times. All the mentioned pieces and details about the exhibition after the jump.
