“Berlin: Symphonie der Großstadt” (1927) accompanied live by Tronthaim – Kino Central
On Friday, 29th November, Walter Ruttmann’s famous avantgarde movie from 1927 – “Symphony of a Great City” – will be shown at Kino Central near Hacke’scher Markt, accompanied by Berlin electronics duo Tronthaim. The screening at 20.30 is already sold out; however, there will be a second showing at 22.00 and I managed to get tickets for that! Yay! In case anyone is interested, as of this afternoon, there were still tickets available. It should be an awesome experience; I’ve seen “Symphonie” twice, once accompanied on a grand piano and once on a cinema organ. Never with Tronthaim’s soundtrack though!

Exhibitions: “Art with Money” at Whiteconcepts gallery and Maki Na Kamura at Bethanien
Yesterday I went to see the new solo exhibition in Künstlerhaus Bethanien‘s Kottbusser Strasse showroom: Maki Na Kamura, the winner of this year’s Falkenrot Preis award. Different landscapes and cityscapes all folded together onto a single canvas, that was my impression of her paintings – full of details and yet open to interpretation; interesting and complex. Go and see it!
This Friday, 22nd November, Whiteconcepts gallery in Auguststrasse will open a new group exhibition: “Art With Money”. I’ve never been to Whiteconcepts so this is a good opportunity to finally visit the gallery. Also, Spanish artist duo PSJM (I interviewed them for globe-M last year) will be exhibiting there. The vernissage begins at 7pm.

Globe-M: Cyberfest 2013 – article
Arts house The Wye has brought the Cyberfest new media art event over from Russia: five days of exciting art/sound installations, performances, workshops, lectures, screening and concerts – check out the programme!! Cyberfest 2013: Time & Place kicks off on Wednesday, 13th November, at 8pm – and all events are free (yay!).
And here is the globe-M article on Cyberfest 2013, freshly posted: Cyber//Art. I visited the exhibitions in The Wye on Wednesday and completely fell in love with “Aesthetics of Decay: Design for Dying Electronics”, a multimedia installation by Disney Nasa Borg which can be seen on The Wye’s ground floor. My favourites on the second floor exhibition room include “Movie Mincer” by Sergey Teterin – a metal meat mincer connected to a laptop and beamer; when you turn the handle you can screen a silent movie film clip (George Méliès’ “A Trip to the Moon” from 1902!). When the handle pauses, the film stops. Continue reading

Globe-M: “Bin ich schön?” at Museum für Kommunikation – article
The Museum for Communication has just opened its new exhibition: “Am I Beautiful?” looks at the cultural and biological ideals of beauty. Museum für Kommunikation is one of my favourite exhibition spaces in Mitte. It is located in a gorgeous building from 1898 directly on Leipziger Strasse. They have a well-structured and interactive permanent exhibition (a great place to visit if you have kids) and temporary exhibits dealing with trends, society, information, communication and interaction.
