Festival / Remake Berlin 2013
Wednesday 11th – Sunday 15th September, times vary
In a city full of budding creatives it can be hard to make your ideas heard and your work unique. Learn how to re-think your previous attitudes and ways of working with this year’s Remake Festival at Platoon Kunsthalle which is split into three categories: ‚reset‘, ‚rethink‘ and ‚recreate‘. Spanning five days, the festival will combine lectures, presentations, debates, exhibitions and workshops by a host of international makers in the art, design and architecture communities.

Vernissage / Jen Ray – Better to Reign in Hell, than Serve in Heaven
Friday 13th September – 7pm
Berlin-based American artist Jen Ray presents her first solo show in Berlin this Friday at Haus am Lützowplatz. Focussing on women amidst an apocalyptic fantasy world, Ray’s large format, boldly colourful drawings will feature a variety of pop culture sources and provide, we imagine, a feast for the eyes. A performance will take place at 8:30pm, followed by an after show party.

Art Party / Pornceptual’s Russian Porn
Friday 13th September – 11pm
Following their first successful Tropical Porn shindig the creators of Pornceptual are back with another party filled with debauchery, dancing, and in this case dissidence against the heinous policies and homophobia being allowed in Russia. Celebrating the right to choose your own sexuality and what you do with your body, the photography project are sending photographs of the evening to the German Russian Embassy in protest for Russia’s LGBT society, so make sure you look your best.
