MONO.KLUB #28: CYPRIEN GAILLARD

And, well yes, it’s anniversary season now and we have one event chasing the next, so with this one, we just really couldn’t hold our breath any longer: as launch party for our current issue with Cyprien Gaillard, we have organized a very special screening in a very special location, just for you.

BERLIN PUBLISHING WEEKEND #02: UNTER DEM MOTTO

So, of course next to Miss Read at Kunstwerke, our friends at Motto bookstore and Chert gallery will host the second round of Unter dem Motto book fair, with a focus on slightly more edgy and alternative magazines and art publications. Or, in their own words: ‘More than 70 publishers from about 17 countries will [...]

TEMPORARY ENDING

The Temporäre Kunsthalle, an interim arts space in the heart of Berlin, is drawing to a close tomorrow, with a party hosted by Raster-Noton, the label co-founded by Carsten Nicolai – who happens to be the last artist to work with the exterior façade of the Kunsthalle.

There are still some tickets available and you can buy [...]

SUPER700 UNPLUGGED

The band SUPER700 was founded in 2003 by the sisters Ibadet Ramadani (singer), Ilirjana Ramadani and Albana Ramadanai (background singers), Johannes Saal (guitar), Simon Rauterberg (keyboard), Hichael Haves (bass), and Sebastian Schmidt (drums) in Berlin. Their unique, melodramatic songs with electronic and funky elements are difficult to be classified – a mixture of Trip Hop, [...]
