Last week I went on a little trip to the former GDR Funkhaus at Nalepastraße with Claudio and Gina. We wanted to take a look at this amazing location and also check out the opening of the group show Broadcast. Our visit turned out to be a trip through art wonderland. In addition to the group exhibition there was also an open studio night at many of the small artist studios that are now inside the Funkhaus (many empty rooms can still be rented for cheap). There was a great creative energy in the air in the hallways of the old broadcast building. With all the musician and artist studios this almost felt like a big creative commune. Have a look after the jump at our impressions, this time in the form of Instagrams.

I can’t tell you how happy I am how the whole GIF. ME. BERLIN. exhibition project has been going so far. So many people came to the opening on Wednesday at HBC and the responses to our little installation was really great. On the next day the online exhibition went live in our virtual gallery and at the smart urban stage magazine and I think our GIFs really look amazing together.
At the night of the exhibition there was one feeling that was quite strong for me (apart from the relief that we have made it all happen): Gratitude! I’m so grateful for all the help and support I got for this project. So I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone.
First of all a big thank you to the smart urban stage magazine who made it at all possible for this to be a live event. Secondly the .HBC, especially Nico, who was once again an awesome host and supporter of my idea. Then I would like to thank all of the 12 photographers, artists and designers who submitted amazing GIFs! And my dear exhibition team Lia, Claudio and Nathan, you were great! And also our helpers Archer, Jesus, Filipe, Dina and Christophe. My sister Susanne for her awesome cupcakes and finger food. Absolut for their delicious flavoured vodka. Crap = Good for bringing their mechanical GIF Player and Loopcam for hosting our GIF Photobox (the results you can see here). And last but not least all of you people who came to the opening, checked out the online exhibition and wrote about it in your publications. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What will the city of the future be like? Industrial, made of asphalt, surreal shaped, or simply just better, worse or not even existing? We don’t know yet. But what I know for sure is that there is a lot going on right now about how the city will be in the future. Stakeholders in this question are definetly talented architects who make plans today for the buildings of tomorrow. The most impressive architects from Berlin are for sure the GRAFT team. They are currently having a giant exhibition of their work at Haus am Waldsee. After the click you can find out where and when to explore the future of the mega cities .

An awesome big art exhibition open up until late? A night of concerts with amazing video projections? A quirky and fun art and photo installation and performance? And a big party on top of all that? What sounds like a whole schedule of events was actually all coming together at Berlinische Galerie last Saturday at the Kunstnacht11 with concerts by Jahcoozi and Creep as well as a performance by Crystal Mafia. After the jump you’ll find some impressions of the night.

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.
