TOP 5 OPENINGS FOR YOUR BERLIN ART WEEKEND

Berlin’s top art events (18th-20th June 2015): Archive Kabinett, Deutsche Bank KunstHalle, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Grimmuseum, and Klemm’s

Vernissage / Archive Kabinett

Thursday 18th June – 7pm

The world of art in print is a cabinet of curiosities — a craft-based wonderland of high-design, concept-based creations that settle on your shelves while confusing the very status of objet d’art. To broaden your love of art in print or dive into the deep end for the very first time, join Drawing Room Confessions this Thursday night at Archive Kabinett and celebrate the launch of three new issues as well as the re-print of an old standby.

Archive Kabinett // Dieffenbachstraße 31 , 10967 Berlin

Performance / Deutsche Bank KunstHalle

Thursday 18th June – 9pm

On Thursday night at 9pm, Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle presents an astounding performance featuring the compositions of Berlin-based composer and artist Steven Warwick in conversation with choreography and movement from the innovative, inspirational Nicola Mascia. Concentrated on interpretations of the sexual theories of the legendary Magnus Hirschfeld and forged from the influences of 1970s electronic music, this unique performance promises to be anything but ordinary.

Thursday 18th June – 8pm

Explore the power and the promise of the divergent possibilities that make up our architectural future on the centenary of Malevich’s Black Square (1915).

Vernissage / Grimmuseum

Friday 19th June – 6pm

Materially rich and vibrantly interwoven, the group show How to Read in the Dark? featuring artists from Lapland offers a curious, contemplative meditation on site and structure. Bold, sumptuous, and stirring, How to Read in the Dark? offers a timely and nuanced investigation of the cultural North.

Presentation / Klemm’s

Saturday 20th June – 6pm until 9pm

In the age of the selfie there’s still a good deal more to say about the making of a photograph, and The Human Apparatus take on questions of process, form, and function. As diverse artists dedicated to a common cause appear in conversation, the very nature of representation comes into focus.

Klemm’s // Prinzessinnenstraße 29, 10969 Berlin
