Postcard from Berlin 3:
Last weekend I went to an opening at MEINBLAU
This is a split-level gallery space in a complex that also houses 14 studios. The studio programme includes early career as well as established artists, international exchanges and “an office for philosophy/aesthetics/art theory”. The organisation was first established in 1997 and re-opened/re-organized in 2005 by means of European funding.
The exhibition I attended was a lively (visual) conversation between Yudi Noor (installation artist), Zascho Petkow (furniture designer) and Ingo the Wuntke (furniture designer). I enjoyed a happy half hour lounging in a big green seat, awaiting an end to the deluge of rain outside.
To get there take the U2 to Senefelder Platz, the gallery is a 10 minute walk away at 18/19 Christinen Str. – it is located round the back of the big courtyard at this address.
