Galerie SU DE Coucou – Vernissage “cachÈ/ hidden” – 7pm 

Visual artist and photographer Alexandra Jasper brings together three photographic series based on the theme of “hiding,” as seeing or feeling desire in photography is not the same as knowing its actual source. Featuring the live-performance “Sissi meets Effi” by Lena Braun, this is a show we don’t want to miss. 

Idrawalot – Stick Core Exhibition pt.3 – 7pm

Stickers: Berlin is covered with them. Take this chance to appreciate the art and craft that goes into sticker design with this show celebrating the ubiquitous urban art form. 

Urban Spree – Documentary Donnerstag #2 “Sans Soleil” – 7pm 

The second in an eight week program of thought-provoking films being shown at Urban Spree, this event features the film “Sans Soleil” by Chris Marker, chartering his journey from Africa to Japan.

Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle – BAPs Thermos Party – 9am

 LEAP – “Instrumental” Performance – 8pm 

A performance installation exploring sound’s engagement with time and process, “Instrumental” will be based upon recordings from an intensive six-day series of improvisations at the space.  

Kunststück Berlin – Vernissage “Saints & Sinners” – 7pm 

Things are never black and white, and neither are they good and evil. “Saints & Sinners” is a group show exploring these constructed idenitites and kicks off with a “lasvicious” performance at 8pm before a reading at 9pm. Be on your best behavior…

the CLUB – Parker Tilghman  “i am alive and last night i did not die” – 8pm 

This rather melodramatically-named exhibition features a series of cyanotypes on silk, a selection of video works and a site-specific text installation by American artist Parker Tilghman.
