You believe Atlantis is this hidden culture sunken inside the Mediterranean Sea. I prove you wrong you lazy Berliners never watching what’s happening right in front of your nose. You don’t need to book a flight and hire an expert navy team to find the treasures of Atlantis. Just few S-Bahn stations away in Potsdam there is this outstanding art location called Rohkunstbau which will place real gems of contemporary art in this beautiful setting. The exhibition called Atlantis I -Hidden Histories- New Identities won’t take the Atlantis theme in a Walt Disney way but look inside the philosophical ideas of a perfect state comparing it to the efforts of creating equal Europe. Find more art pieces and more infos after the jump.

Ten artist from East Europe and Germany were invited to contribute to the exhibition so you see a really wide range of things going on. I picked some of my favorites peaces here and I hope you like them as well. The exhibition is open the whole summer.
