Vernissage/ c/o Berlin Grand Re-Opening 

daily from now on

The day has come at last for the re-opening of our beloved photography foundation C/O Berlin. After nearly two years of waiting the grand opening will take place today from 4pm, with not only one but four opening exhibitions. These include ‘Magnum Contact Sheets’, a stunning display of the work in progress of the great photographers of the last century, and ‘Picture Yourself’, a show which using photo-automats allows users to take portraits in the style of one of six Magnum photographers. With over 8,000 attendees the opening yesterday was a little overwhelming, but an event you’ll definitely remember!

Vernissage / Die Welt Ist Nicht Genug at Kunstquartier Bethanien

Friday 31st October – 7:30pm 

We continue our chilling halloween theme with an exhibition opening at Kunstquartier Bethanien who open the description of their show with a quote from Jean Baudrillard – “Photography is our exorcism. Primitive society had its masks, bourgeois society its mirrors. We have our images.” Come glimpse the exorcism of photography collective N315 as they present their work as part of 6th European Month of Photography Berlin.

Now in its fifth year, Festival of Future Nows is an internationally recognised project for art pedagogy and research. Created in affiliation with Berlin University of the Arts and under the direction of Olafur Eliasson the festival will open Thursday 30th October between 8-10pm and run for three days. The programme will include performances, sculptures, installations and lectures including festival past participants and new guest lecturers. The festival will take place in David Chipperfield’s current exhibition ‘Sticks and Stones’ at Neue Nationalgalerie, giving you another reason to visit the space before its architectural revamp beginning January 2015.
