Top 5 Openings of your art weekend

Vernissage / Terminal – Vision and Existence of Berlin Airports  

Thursday 16th October – 7pm

Bizarre as it may sound, Berlin’s airports hold a tender place in the hearts of many of the city’s inhabitants. Despite the ongoing debacle of the never finished Berlin-Brandenburg airport, the city’s other hubs help us temporarily escape home, not to mention provide refuge from the city landscape in the form of disused airport Tempelhof. As the government plots the demise of each of these sites this exhibition seeks to present Berlin’s diverse airport collection through a jury selected collection of photography, polarizing the subject and presenting each airport in all its glory.

Vernissages / Anthropocene Project Exhibition Openings at HKW

Thursday 16th October – 6pm 

Everyone’s favorite high brow art centre HKW continues with its mammoth Anthropocene Project this Friday with the opening of three new associated exhibitions. The first of which, ’#4 The Dark Abyss of Time’ deals with (among others) the topic of global planning scenarios in our contemporary age, while the second concentrates on intriguing painter and author Adam Avikainen, whose exhibition ’CSI Department of Natural Resources’ deals with the role of natural sciences in our present. The final opening of the evening will consist of ’The Otolith Group: Medium Earth’, an exhibition including a film essay and other work focussing on the earthquake endangered geology of California. As you do.

The show will feature work by 14 international artists including Anton Corbijn, Tina Bara and Nan Goldin.
