Next Friday and Saturday the Kühlhaus is showing the scent exhibition “Smells of the City” as part of the arts festival Chinesischer Herbst. Air designers Aoiro (http://aoiroair.com) will be recreating the characteristic smells of Beijing – I’m really looking foward to seeing how they’ll do it! I will also write my next Mintel retail trend article on the scent exhibition and the work of Aoiro. Check out their website, they do some really exciting stuff! EDIT: And here is the Mintel article on Aoiro’s scent exhibition: Aoiro brings the scents of Beijing to Berlin.

Globe-M: “Nostalgia”, early Russian colour photography at Gestalten gallery – article
Gestalten gallery (www.gestalten.com/space) in Berlin-Mitte is currently showing “Nostalgia”, a small exhibition of very early colour photographs by Russian photographer Michailowitch Prokudin-Gorski. In 1906 he travelled across Russia to systematically document the different regions, peoples and landscapes of Tsarist Russia; I love photography (especially early photography and travel photography) so I decided to make this my next globe-M article…..! Sophie-Gips-Höfe near Hacke’scher Markt. Free entry!
And here is the globe-M article about the exhibition: Farbenfrohes Zarenreich.

“Chinesischer Herbst”: Beijing Young Dramatists Association performance
I went to see some of the exhibitions of Chinesischer Herbst in the Kühlhaus yesterday (a really great location, by the way!) and stayed to watch a performance by the Beijing Young Dramatists Association – utterly riveting; they performed “Zen – Tea”, a modern dance interpretation of an old chinese tea poem. Here are some pics, if you’re in Berlin today or tomorrow, go and catch one of their performances, it is so worth it:

“Chinesischer Herbst”: contemporary Chinese art festival at Kühlhaus, Berlin
This week I’ll visit some of the photography exhibitions of Chinesischer Herbst, a cultural festival presenting contemporary Chinese art. I’ll be reporting for globe-M but I would have gone anyway – the programme sounds fascinating, photography, video art, performances, movies and concerts….check it out here (German only, sorry! www.kuehlhaus.de)! The festival takes place near U2 station Gleisdreieck.
I also want to attend the Anna von Schrottenberg concert and of course see the ‘fragrance exhibition’ which portrays the different scents associated with the city of Beijing – the curators are calling it an ‘air design installation’! Exciting!!!!
And here is the globe-M article: (Jahres-) Zeitenwechsel.

Off-Topic: 10 Jahre Mixology!
This has nothing to do with any of my freelance projects but I’m dead excited anyway: On Sunday evening one of my favourite trade magazines ever – Mixology! – is celebrating its 10 year anniversary at the newly opened Rocco & Sanny Bar on Friedrichstrasse.
I’m on the guest list (hooray!) since I’m a subscriber….! Mixology is the biggest German trade mag about the cocktail, bartending and spirits industry in Germany, check it out: Mixology website.

Globe-M: Arts house The Wye in Kreuzberg – article
The Wye (www.thewye.de) is a very cool international arts house which opened on Skalitzer Strasse in Kreuzberg; if you’re in the neighbourhood go and check it out! I also suggest you visit Konzept 86, a great fashion store which is located on the ground floor of The Wye. It made a wonderful Mintel Cityscape this summer (Konzept 86). And here is the globe-M article about The Wye: Gleisdreieck der Kunst.
In a few days I’ll publish a brief interview with The Wye’s founder Leah Stuhltrager!

Globe-M: “Geschlossene Gesellschaft”, photography exhibition in Berlinische Galerie – article
Next week is going to be hectic! On 4th October the new photography exhibition at Berlinische Galerie museum opens: “Geschlossene Gesellschaft” – social and artsy photography in the German Democratic Republic 1949 to 1989. The exhibition features some 250 pictures by 34 photographers. I know next to nothing about GDR photography so this should be interesting. The exhibition starts at 7pm, free entry on the first night, check it out: Berlinische Galerie.
And here is the globe-M article: Geschlossene Gesellschaft.
