Vernissage / Galerie Nagel Draxler

Friday 26th June – 7pm until 10pm

The decadent minimal work of Mirjam Thomann toys with the sculptural tradition of lines in space through playful geometric installations that shape and recast the viewer’s experience of place. Engaging color as well as composition, line as well as shape, Thomann’s work tweaks the traditional abstract-modern enterprise to stunning effect.

Galerie Nagel Draxler // Weydingerstraße 2/4, 10178 Berlin

Vernissage / König Galerie

Friday 26th June – 7pm

Some collaborations are simply to powerful to contain within the bonds of a single performance. Finish off your Berlin art weekend with trip to König Galerie and relive the collaboration between Ragnar Kjartansson and indie-rock sensation The National for a sonic experience you won’t soon forget.

König Galerie // Alexandrinenstraße 118-121, 10969 Berlin
