based in Berlin
Mercoledì 8 Giugno 2011
Vibrant, relaxed Berlin is an artist's mecca - creatives of all stripes flock here to live their dream. The opening of the huge new Based in Berlin exhibition last night was a celebration of the city's young, international art scene. The exhibition features 80 up and coming artists who live in Berlin. Spanning the best galleries all over the city, the exhibition is a great chance to see what's happening in the not-so-established art scene.
Open air cinema
Venerdì 3 Giugno 2011
One of the many joys of Berlin summer nights is the open air movie cinemas that dot the city, called Freiluftkinos. Freiluftkino Kreuzberg is a favorite among expats due to their original-version programming and smart selection of box-office hits and art-house fare. Settle back into comfy lawn chairs with a beer and a snuggly blanket, in a lovely courtyard in the former hospital-turned-artist-colony Bethanien.
Torstraße
Venerdì 20 Maggio 2011
Torstrasse is loud, it's wide, it's dirty - and lately it's morphed into one of the most exciting streets in Berlin. In contrast to the sterile name-brand shopping to its south and the cutesy cobblestone cafe-filled streets to the north, Torstrasse is hopping with small galleries, junk shops, little designer shops, über-hip bars (Trust Bar).
Gestalten Space
Martedì 3 Maggio 2011
Berlin-based Gestalten publishers have opened a huge, beautiful new space in Mitte devoted to their stellar vision of cutting-edge art, photography and design. It's gorgeous! The new, 350-square-meter shop and gallery is designed as a space for exhibitions and a 'platform for exchange'.
Gallery Weekend 2011
Mercoledì 27 Aprile 2011
The sprawling Berlin Gallery Weekend is upon us again - the ante has been upped to 44 galleries, 44 openings, and of course parties all over the city. It's an easy stroll from the Miniloft apartments to the host of galleries on Linenstraße and Auguststraße and Brunnenstraße, or head south to Galerie Crone, Carlier | Gebauer and others east of Friedrichstraße.
Ticket B Architecture Tours
Mercoledì 20 Aprile 2011
Ticket B Architecture tours are a boon for architecture buffs. Discover Berlin with the experts, on tours through the Parliamentary District, Potsdamer Platz, Embassies, Art Spaces in Berlin, and Sustainable Architecture in Mitte (and many more). Their newest tour, of Museum Island, shows you an insider's view of the restoration of the Museum Island according to David Chipperfield’s master plan, currently Berlin’s largest inner city project.
Landhaus Lemke
Giovedì 31 Marzo 2011
Landhaus Lemke was Mies van der Rohe's last house built in Germany before he went into exile in 1938. This small, simple brick house certainly is a confirmation of van der Rohe's statement that "architecture begins if two bricks are carefully assembled.“
Kunstfabrik Schlot
Lunedì 28 Marzo 2011
Kunstfabrik Schlot has been the go-to jazz spot in East Berlin since right after the fall of the wall. Hidden in a back courtyard, it's the perfect night out from the Miniloft apartments, just around the corner. Monday and Thursday evenings there's even free entry!
Rollery Derby: Berlin Bombshells
Giovedì 17 Marzo 2011
Roller Derby is back, in Berlin, and badder than ever. This quintessentially American sport, now with German flavor, involves two teams of ladies on skates, barreling around a track and attempting to pass each other by any means necessary.
Chipps
Lunedì 14 Marzo 2011
A hearty breakfast is hard to find in Berlin. Sure, Sunday buffet brunches are an institution, and a roll and cheese can be found in any old bakery. But what about pancakes and waffles? And English breakfast? And eggs benedict? As an American homesick for real breakfast, I almost cried with relief when Chipps (run by the team behind Cookies Cream) opened their second location down the street from the Miniloft apartments.
