Top 5 art Events for your Berlin weekend

Performance / at KW  

Thursday 6th November – 7pm  

From the department of bad moods (a department we are all, of course, familiar with) comes the latest in KW’s performative minute series, concentrating on nostalgia. That yearning for times gone by when we dust off the rose tinted glasses, when the present isn’t living up to our expectations is something we can all relate to, and something which the three artist strong band will convey through their musical performance, also discussing the music of Fleetwood Mac, Blue Effect and others.

Vernissage / Stephen Willats ‘How Tomorrow Looks From Here’ 

Saturday 8th November – 4 until 8pm

Internationally renowned British artist Stephen Willats will have his latest exhibition, ‘How Tomorrow Looks From Here’ unveiled at DAAD this Saturday. After a long tie with the gallery stemming from a year long residency in the 1970s, the artist will return to continue his exploration of social groups in urban contexts with an interactive computer simulation, installation and a selection of charts helping to create and explain his concepts. In conjunction with the show art space MD 72 will also present another facet of Willat’s work under the title ‘Berlin Local’.
