TOGETHER @ Berghain – Joseph Marr Book Launch

Artist Joseph Marr is celebrating the book launch of his new Monograph from DISTANZ VERLAG. The artist will exhibit a selection of works from the book and screen for the first time the documentary “Making Together” a short film shot on the dance floor of Berghain of the artist creating his sculpture for the club in 2013.

“10 years on is a nice round number to now look back on what we made for Berghain. The sculpture “Together” was by far the most challenging work for me to date and the documentary shows much of the effort from everyone that contributed to its making. This evening we will also launch my new Monograph from Distanz Verlag that ties the Exhibition and film together with in depth views from Art writer Boris Pofalla and Artist Peter Welz. After party Des Mike Starr & Leiras.” Joseph Marr

CODESS: The 8 Year Anniversary Performance by UY Studio

by Frank | Art, Events

Avid followers of iHeartBerlin know that fashion label UY is one of our favorites in Berlin and very close to our hearts. No other label has elevated club wear like they did and turned it into a lifestyle. UY is one of the longest-running clubwear labels in Berlin with a history of presenting their work in a very creative and multi-disciplinary way. Three years ago they celebrated their 5th anniversary with a stunning performance at Halle am Berghain choreographed by our friends from The Progressive Wave with the soundtrack created by Dasha Rush. It was a true spectacle and one of the most impressive presentations of a fashion label we had seen. Check out my photos and animations of that show here.

A New Take On the Iconic Illustration of the Line At Berghain by Nicola Napoli

by Frank | Art, Party

Even though clubs have been closed for over a year now, surprisingly, we haven’t really run short on news about Berlin’s famous nightlife places. From photography projects on clubber outfits, empty dancefloors, or outdoor raving, to virtual clubs and nightlife activism – there is always something to write about. And we are glad to keep the spirit alive this way, even though we’re all really craving for a party right now.

Artist and illustrator Nicola Napoli has also dedicated some of his time during the lockdown to work on a new nightlife-related piece. He’s blessed us already with various party-themed artworks in the past, but his most notable work might be the iconic line at Berghain that he first came out with back in 2014. It was one of our most successful articles of the time and it prompted a collaborative event and exhibition that we hosted together with him showcasing a new elaborate 10-meter long artwork.

Berghain as we know it has been closed for over a year now. But the corona-imposed lockdown restrictions have transformed it into an occasional art gallery, much to the chagrin of some local hipsters. This summer, Berghain will yet again open its doors to art lovers and anyone who’s always wanted to see the halls of the famous club but never made it inside.

Berlin’s nightlife has served as inspiration for many art forms. Multiple illustrators have managed to convey the atmosphere of the wild parties that go on for days, among them Virginie Kypriotis with her fantastic visions of Berghain. The new project ENTER THE CLUB has made her work even more enthralling by turning it into a virtual reality experience.

Studio Berlin: Entire Berghain to Transform into Giant Gallery for Remainder of Lockdown

by Frank | Art

The club lockdown has put the entire nightlife scene into the most difficult situation it has ever been. While other countries are already back to partying the Germans haven’t released their clubs yet from their enforced hibernation. In our previous two stories, we already took a look at what the Berlin clubs are up to during their closing and what Berlin’s party people are doing without their clubs.

As if by magic the big news broke yesterday, that Berlin’s most famous club – Berghain – will transform into something else for the remainder of the club lockdown starting on September 9th: Berlin’s biggest gallery. In collaboration with the private art collectors Boros who are showcasing their pieces in yet another big grey cement building that used to be a nightclub – the bunker – the new exhibition will, most likely, include Berghain’s resident artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans who has his abstract artworks at Panorma Bar, Joseph Marr who made the sugar men sculptures inside the Klobar, and Norbert Bisky who has his large painting downstairs opposite the cloakroom, as well as Sven Marquardt, Marc Brandenburg, and Piotr Nathan.

UPDATE: After a closed period during the second lockdown the exhibition will now be open again from June 18th, 2021. Book your tickets here.

Walls Breathing Sound – A new Sound Exhibition at Halle am Berghain

How can you manifest sound in space? The two Austrian born and Berlin-based sound artists Sam Auinger and Hannes Strobl found an answer in their new soundscape inside the Halle am Berghain that just opened this week for visitors.

Halle am Berghain is a majestic piece of industrial architecture right next to the club-space that has been shut down now for over 4 months. Fortunately, exhibitions are allowed to open since a couple of weeks – and so I warmly recommend to go visit the work called “eleven songs – halle am berghain”.

Sound installation: eleven songs – halle am berghain

by Michalina | Performance

singuhr projekte berlin presents the sound installation eleven songs – halle am berghain by Berlin-based artist duo Sam Auinger and Hannes Strobl (TAMTAM). Their installation transforms the machine hall of the former Berlin-Friedrichshain district heating plant into a unique resonance space. Specially concepted for the sheer size and architecture of the solid concrete venue, the new work by tamtam activates the imposing architecture of the room ensemble through acoustic means. The industrial hall with the gigantic coal chutes hanging from the ceiling and its massive pillars is both a backdrop and a frictional surface. Visitors are continually met by new sonic conditions, moods and sonorous perspectives. The room as an instrument.

Sam Auinger and Hannes Strobl have a longstanding artistic friendship that is expressed in many joint compositions and sound installations. Since 2003 the two artists, who both live in Berlin, have been developing a series of works named ‘farben/raumfarben’. ‘farben/raumfarben’ are both site-specific long-term compositions and poetic sound spaces in which the viewers experience a place as an instrument. Each composition is formed by by the architectural, functional and social characteristics of the given space, which are reflected in its sound, its noises and rhythms. In their new ‘raumfarben’ installation ’eleven songs – halle am berghain’, tamtam for the first time make the functional architecture of a post-industrial space ensemble speak.

Berlin Label UY Stages Enigmatic Performance at Halle

by Frank | Fashion

It is no secret that we are huge fans of Berlin label UY. So it comes as no surprise that we were thrilled to find out that the label plans a very special extravaganza to celebrate its 5th anniversary. Combining their passion for the theatrical and their strong connection to Berlin’s nightlife the event was recently revealed to be a dance performance at Halle (the awesome location inside the building of Berghain) that will premiere tonight!

We had the chance to witness the press preview last night and of course, took the opportunity to capture some impressions for you. You can expect a grand spectacle with lots of golden outfits, a fantastic choreography by The Progressive Wave, and a soundtrack by Dasha Rush that could not be more fitting for the location. You should get tickets for the 19h or 21h show and join the after party at Berghain Kantine.

Experience a Visit at Berghain in Virtual Reality

by Frank | Party, Videos

I honestly feel a bit guilty for posting yet another thing capitalizing on the fame of Berghain, but on the other hand, I know people are just gonna love it. And I don’t want to be in the way of that fun.

So, Berghain as made its way into the virtual world: Someone recreated it in Minecraft and Mixmag published a walk-through on Facebook yesterday. It’s quite rich in detail which is really impressive. It’s fun to trace your own steps through the infamous club and even walk corners you haven’t been before. My personal highlight is the little bat flying around in the place. Cute.

.Enjoy the experience and visit the empty virtual techno temple in the video below. Spoiler alert: It’s not really the same as going there IRL… 😉 Kudos to whoever created this…
