The first weekend of May has been notable not only for Labour Day, but for art in Berlin as well. For the 11th time 47 galleries (this year) opened their doors from the first until the third of May.
Among this year’s highlights were definitely the large scale sprayed paintings by Katharina Grosse, who inaugurated the new exposition domicile in the St. Agnes church of Johann König. Her bright colorful art is characterized by her demolished paper bits spray technique, as you would normally know from collages. One could not have filled the great room on the first floor of the church any better. Along with other art pieces on the ground floor of the concrete church Jeppe Hein’s mirrored chrome balloons with colorful strings on the ceiling were much admired too. More impressions after the jump.

Neue Berliner Räume is a platform for changing artists, curators and other creatives. This weekend they present us Echoes of Voices in the High Towers, an exhibition project with British artist Robert Montgomery that will take place over the course of summer 2012. Next to three billboard pieces in front of the old Tempelhof Airport building and two illuminated poem sculptures in the park of the disused airport, Montgomery`s poems will be presented on ten large sized billboard advertising spaces across the city. For the opening of the exhibition in the park of the former Tempelhof Airport, the artist will be presenting one of his Fire Poems. If you can`t stand snobby fashionistas any more, watching burning letters at sunset at Tempelhof is a good way to start a wonderful Saturday night. Just hope for the artist that it will not rain. More pictures and informations after the jump.
