Hop Into The Weekend

Once again the weekend is around the corner.  And don’t worry we’ve got you covered with art openings, events, and even a block party to help you in your art adventures this weekend. Can’t make it to Documenta, why not spend the evening at Bockumenta?  Japan a little too far away to visit? Get a sneak peak into the young Japanese art scene at Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanien (not everyone will be dressed as hamster, we promise!). Those flights to Iceland too expensive? Frank and Jo Nagel will take you on a tour of this magical land in sounds and pictures. So come on artparasites, do some traveling! All you need is a bike or a lovely Berlin transport ticket courtesy of the BVG. This weekend Berlin is throwing you some international travel, art style.
