With the sudden summer outbreak we had no other choice than to rethink our editorial schedule for the weekend to bring you something that will please you more than any party, exhibition or other indoor activity would do today.

Enjoy our list of the 5 most iconic destinations in the outskirts of Berlin.

Last weekend – instead of going to 48h Neukölln were my friends had a splash be getting really drunk and stealing designerchairs (true story) – I felt really avant-garde by traveling to suburbia (Potsdam) to go to a streetart/urban intervention festival called Localize taking place in a desiccated watercourse. I was not mentally prepared for the horribly long traintrip and the depressing Potsdam Hauptbahnhof by night (the Deutsche Bahn architect must have some serious personality issues going on). But after that suburbia surprised me with a little nice festival and some fun installations. Even if now getting arrested for stealing design furniture might be on my list for next year’s must-dos. Look at my impressions after the jump.

Andy Warhol, Ohne Titel, 1957
There is no other artist in the second half of the 20ies century that is as popular as Andy Warhol. Some of his pictures (Marilyn, Campbell cans, Mao) became part of the collective memory, and they have been reproduced several million times. Up to this day, they appear on T-Shirts and posters, on cups and blankets.
But his enormous popularity has also led to certain saturation. You just have seen his pictures too often. Nevertheless, Andy Warhol is not all about Pop Art. There is still a lot to discover within his huge oeuvre, his early works for instance which are still widely unknown. A great selection of those early works is now shown in an exhibition at the Villa Schöningen in Potsdam.

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.
