Apart from the auction Mauri started on his blog, we would like to raise awareness to another really cool idea from the Jugend gegen Aids Stiftung. Together with Stefan Strumbel, one of our most favourite artists by the way, they did a real funny art exhibition protesting against the Catholic church. For every new facebook friend they get, a Holy Maria statue will cry one tear. In the end the holy mother will be drowned by her own tears. That’s a good way to protest, and a very good way to find more facebook fans for a good cause. Watch the video with all the details after the jump. Read on – Weiterlesen »

Getting rid of squatter artist houses seems to be the new hobby of Berlin’s Ordnungsämter. The artist house in the old Brewery Friedrichshöhe at Landsberger Alee 54 was one that I have really good memories of and remember it to be a really special place. Now it’s gone and luxury lofts are going to be constructed inside the house. A good friend of mine wrote an article in German describing the whole situation. The text and more impressions of the place after the jump.

The thing I like about artists working in Berlin is that they are not so much bound to economic values like in other big cities and still can have a decent living out of their art. A good way of supporting Berlin artists and don’t spend thousands on a painting is a project called Idealist. The Idea behind it is to make a book that works as an unique live exhibition. The book is limited to 5000 pieces and has Berlin artists working on the topic of “Kampfgeist”. So, any piece of art in it was especially made for this book. I’m really impressed with this book and think that the price of 100 EUR is pretty ok for that kind of limited edition and effort and work behind it. You can see the book this weekend at the Stroke Urban Art Fair. More about the project and some images after the jump.

I have more passion for illustrated and sophisticated street art then for graffiti or more simple symbolic pieces from the likes of Banksy & co. One artist I have observed for a while now is ROA. He magically turns animals inside out. In a brutal yet aesthetic kind of way. To see some of his work you can visit the Skalitzers Contemporary Art Gallery. Their current exhibition is an annual showcase, that includes the work of ROA, as well as some other gallery artists. More pictures of the exhibition and all the information you need after the jump.

On Saturday a new event named Curry Rotweiss launches at Backyard in Kreuzberg. The name refers to a typical German speciality you might have tried already: our beloved Currywust! In Berlin you order “rotweiss” if you want your wurst with both, ketchup and mayo. Curry Rotweiss has several surprises coming up for you on Saturday including a test of courage to win a free shot, an art installation in the yard, free Wurst for early birds and a discount for the few Berlin born aliens left. More on the event, the DJs and pics of our lovely models Nadya and Philip after the jump.

A few weeks ago the brand new Gestalten Space celebrated its grand opening at the Sophie-Gips-Höfe in Mitte right across from Barcomi’s Deli. The gorgeous space is far more then just a book shop. In the store you can buy not only the beautiful books of Berlin’s coolest publish house Gestalten but also household accessories and designer toys. The space is also home to a coffee bar and a big exhibition space that will be used for the artists that are published by Gestalten. Find photos and a video of the opening party over at the Gestalten Space Tumblr. Look after the jump for more details and impressions.
