Vernissage/ c/o Berlin Grand Re-Opening
daily from now on
The day has come at last for the re-opening of our beloved photography foundation C/O Berlin. After nearly two years of waiting the grand opening will take place today from 4pm, with not only one but four opening exhibitions. These include ‘Magnum Contact Sheets’, a stunning display of the work in progress of the great photographers of the last century, and ‘Picture Yourself’, a show which using photo-automats allows users to take portraits in the style of one of six Magnum photographers. With over 8,000 attendees the opening yesterday was a little overwhelming, but an event you’ll definitely remember!

Vernissage / Die Welt Ist Nicht Genug at Kunstquartier Bethanien
Friday 31st October – 7:30pm
We continue our chilling halloween theme with an exhibition opening at Kunstquartier Bethanien who open the description of their show with a quote from Jean Baudrillard – “Photography is our exorcism. Primitive society had its masks, bourgeois society its mirrors. We have our images.” Come glimpse the exorcism of photography collective N315 as they present their work as part of 6th European Month of Photography Berlin.
