Margrét H. Blöndal’s, quiet, quixotic drawings and installations haunt the realm of the familiar with a cheeky touch of offbeat elegance. Blöndal’s „constellations“ settle effortlessly into pictorials space, tempting the viewer with bold compositions and charming, delicate conceptual propositions.

Artistic collaborations have taken theatre, dance, opera and design to new heights throughout the course of history, and this Saturday Berlin offers a stunning new addition to the cannon. Visual artist Claudia MANEKA Maharaj collaborates with Monika Gossmann on a stunning performance documenting the slow buildup and breakdown of a relationship. Daring, intimate, and beautiful on so many levels, Stripped is a quite simply not to be missed.

English Theatre Berlin // Fidicinstraße 40, 10965 Berlin

Performance / Kwadrat

Saturday 6th June – 9pm

Before summer break sets in and Kwadrat makes a bold move to a new space, you’ll have one last chance to enjoy the old Kwadrat with a compelling performance from Stefan Düe, Patrick Khatami. Converging around questions of performativity and posturing, Düe and Khatami draw together apostrophe and the archive in order to conjure up a thrilling inquiry into the nature of art making.

Kwadrat // Manteuffelstraße 92, 10997 Berlin

Vernissage / Galerie Max Hetzler

Saturday 6th June – 6pm until 8pm

Frank Nitsche’s abstract geometric paintings explore form as a visual construct, blurring the boundaries between pop art and technical drawing and reinvigorating high modern abstraction with a rich palette and a playful, camp composition. Devastatingly talented and delightfully intuitive, Nitsche never fails to surprise and delight.
