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.

The Fountain of Youth
Young forever! New studies have proven, if you only dance enough, you’ll certainly age more slowly. A lack of sleep is also very useful. Or a sip out of the fountain of youth. Where you’ll find that one, I tell you after the jump:

This week is on the one hand dominated by all the events related to the 11th Club Transmediale festival for electronic and experimental music and on the other with a handful of very promising looking exhibitions opening. But before we go all artsy and experimental on your ass, we’ll kick off the week with a lot of fun at Cinéma with the It Boys… The events after the jump.

Untitled, Yoshimoto Nara
Before thinking about Berlin fashion next week I will definitely point your attention to this art book. Created in partnership with the Asia Society Museum Nobody’s Fool represents the work of Japanese art superstar Yoshitomo Nara. It assembles 20 years worth of paintings, sculptures, and drawings that map the evolution of one of the most influential and internationally renowned artists working today. The book and exhibition will draw connections between Nara’s work and the sensibilities of youth subcultures worldwide, focusing on themes of alienation and rebellion, particularly in relation to rock and punk music, the inspiration and subject of many of Nara’s works. In a way his art has something which makes me think of Berlin. Perhaps you can figure out why. More pictures and details after the jump.

Robbekah Ritchie, Performance, 2010
We are getting too cosy and sweet on this poor little blog for my taste. I know that the Christmas feeling has come over us. But that’s no reason to loose all our edges. So I recommend a non-Christmas related event for the weekend. Just to get back on the usual Berlin is so fucked up feeling. After Kippenberger is an exhibition taking place at the Marzia Frozen Gallery. Don’t miss the opening reception this Saturday with some sexy performances and cool artwork. The flyer and the directions after the trash.

Kelis at Levi’s Curve Attack Tour
The first issue of the new weekly event guide was quite easy to put together as we had so much going on last week with all the art fairs. This week is a whole other story, but still there is something for every night. And everythings seems to culminate in the weekend again with the hotly anticipated Levi’s Curve Attack Tour hitting the city with the concert of Kelis at Maria. Get your tickets here or at the venue for 20 EUR. Can’t wait!! More events this week after the jump.
