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.

Globe-M: Spanish artist duo PSJM – article
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Spanish artist duo PSJM; they are originally from Spain but live and work right here in Berlin. They are very international artists though, exhibitions all over the place. I liked their artwork (and they are also nice people!), go check them out: www.psjm.es
And here is my article on globe-M (as always: German only!): Das Kapital der Kunst.

Industry events: The Makeup Show Europe 2012 and Natural Cosmetics Conference 2012
I love September! Now the industry events and trade shows are starting up again and I have two exciting events lined up for the second half of the month: The Makeup Show Europe which takes place for the second time in Berlin (22nd/23rd September at The Station near Gleisdreieck subway station). I went last year and had a fab time so I’m really looking forward to this year’s show: The Makeup Show Europe 2012.
And just a week later (25th/26th September) the Natural Cosmetics Industry Congress will take place – Naturkosmetik Branchenkongress. Last year’s Branchenkongress was great and the programme for this year’s event looks very promising too.

Globe-M: Takehito Koganezawa performance at “Japan Next” – article
On Thursday 23rd August I attended “Japan Next. Künstler aus Japan – Im Fluss der zeitgenössischen Kunst”, a performance and discussion on contemporary Japanese art at Bethanien in Kreuzberg. Part of the “Echo” exhibition. And I was blown away by the performance of Japanese artist Takehito Koganezawa. Check him out!!! I hadn’t heard of him before (then again I don’t really know a great deal about contemporary performance/art) but apparently he is pretty famous. He lives in Berlin and has had some impressive exhibitions over here.
And he opened the talk/discussion at the Bethanien yesterday with an AMAZING performance; played on an Indian harmonium and combined this sound with colourful patterns generated by the electrical interference between two hand-held cameras that were thrown on the wall by a beamer. The patterns, not the cameras. At least that’s what happened, I think. I’m not too clear on the technology behind the artist’s performance but it was wonderful.
