Following Rene Schmidt - of http://www.3deconomy.com/ - around Berlin, to check out the gallery scene, you gotta get up early and et ready for a nitty and consequent show-down.

48 galleries in 48 hours. With galleries clustered together the number it self isnt the issue, its the amount of galleries that stand out: We ofcourse encountered less furtunate exhibitons, boring exibitions, bad exibitions, bad art and bad taste, but that said, The Berlin Gallery scene adds flavour to a the city that comes out super-dynamic, open and welcoming. It also elaborate the problem and many issues in the progression of the commodification of art.

But that aside I was blasted away by the works of photographer Yeondoo Jung (For Your Loneliness II), painter David Schell, photgrapher Jay Mark Jonhson, sculptors Tony Cragg and not the least american sculptor Chris Larsson.

Larson, Minnesota-based scupltor, was represented at http://www.magnusmoller.com/ gallery, with a midevael looking contraption, build in wood. What firstly came out as a giamt toturre instrument was dotted with references to mythlogy, magic, music, science, farming and neurology. The complex constructions was clearly functional, and created a strange dark but somehow romatic feeling. A truly original and new form, a new scuptoral language.

Moreover or besides the arts. I made it to HARDWAX, treptower park and some plastered night life and openings, and I`m looking forward to spring in Berlin.
