You haven’t seen art until you’ve seen it in 20 seconds or less, so, why not join the celebrated Yvonne Reiners and Tina Sauerländer for PECHA KUCHA ART NIGHT at Haus am Lützowplatz. At 4 minutes a piece, this peerless presentation of art for art’s sake is sure to leave you wanting more.

Haus am Lützowplatz // Lützowplatz 9 , 10785 Berlin

Vernissage / Exile

Friday 16th October 

Verena Pfisterer’s colorful, beautifully-composed works on paper walk the line between fragility and pure force. Delightfully referential and yet willfully abstract, each image is a lure into another world.

Exile // Kurfürstenstrasse 19 , 10785 Berlin

Vernissage / CYBERFEST

Friday 16th October – 7pm until 10pm

Showcasing 15 Pulitzer Prize winning photographs by famous photographers such as Nick Ut, Massoud Hossaini, Carol Guzy, Craig F. Walker and many more the exhibition is completed with three installations about the depiction of war today by berlin based artists such as Peter Kolski, Semra Sevin and Peter Kirn.

Sprechsaal // Marienstraße 26, 10117 Berlin

Vernissage / KWADRAT

Saturday 17th October — 7pm until 10pm

Lindsey Landfried’s rich, patterned works swim with graphic influences and practically leap out of two dimensions into the realm of sculpture. Grand, meditative, and more than a little entrancing, Landfried’s works are simply transcendent.

KWADRAT // Manteuffelstraße 92, 10997 Berlin
