Berlin - Gallery Weekend

Last weekend saw the 13th edition of Gallery Weekend, a yearly event of Berlin's art scene, when most galleries in Berlin open for a long weekend with lots of extra events, artist's studio visits, concerts, talks, discussions, cocktail parties ... 

Here are some of the more interesting works that I found that attracted me: 



Wim Botha's paper sculptures - here he has turned a few Encyclopedia Britannica  into a feminine slender and beautiful head - a very well-read woman. 


I loved this grinning octopus in the style of an online-game image although most people would not want one in their living-room.




A very large empty wall (22 m long!) is needed for this mural "Zeitlaich"  by Jonas Burgert. 





Anri Sala "take over"


More women might unknowingly have a similar "art collection". 




a fan: 




 Nika Fontaine paints her "Lucid Dreams" with polyester glitter: 




A few artists experiment with frames: glass that is supposed to protect the work behind is broken or molten,  connecting the outer world, the viewer, to the art behind the glass and giving more depth to the works. 



As always I got many ideas to follow up on ... .
