Grand Re-Opening / the new Circle Culture Gallery at Potsdamer Strasse 

Friday 8th November – 7pm

Despite Mitte being a starting point for many galleries, sometimes the lure of the west is just too strong. This Friday join Berlin favourite Circle Culture Gallery as they host their third gallery grand opening on Potsdamer Straße. Their inaugural exhibition will feature over 20 international artists and include a mixture of those already represented by the gallery as well as newcomers. Our advice: this is not to be missed but get there early, busy will be an understatement.

Opening / Salon Dahlmann / Anselm Reyle & Marianna Uutinen

Saturday 9th November – 6pm

Following their wonderful Ulay exhibition Salon Dahlmann’s latest opening will be a joint show between Finnish artist Marianna Uutinen und Berlin-based painter Anselm Reyle. Entitled ‚Last Supper‘ as a nod to Andy Warhol and his final body of work, the show explores kitsch, camp aesthetics through various media which forces the viewer to try and identify the difference between ‚high‘ and ‚low‘ art.

Festival / Urban Spree / Smachine Art Nights

Friday 8th November – 6pm

Despite resembling the TV programme ‚Robot Wars‘ on first glance, Smachine Art Nights is actually a one week festival combining sculptures, kinetics, machines and fire installations. Housed at Urban Spree, the event features over 20 international artists who have ditched paintbrush and pencil in favour of robots and pyrotechnics. Rad.

Opening / Bootsbau / Solo Show With Joan Cornellà

Saturday 9th November – 5:30pm

The works of Spanish illustrator Joan Cornellà are unmistakable. Brightly coloured, darkly humorous and usually outrageously crude, his pieces never fail to divide opinion. Depicting a whole range of squeamish subjects such as blood, gore and excrement, nothing is left taboo. Gaining recognition through his work in Spanish comics and through the publishing of his first book, Cornellà is now known worldwide and this will be his first show in Berlin.
