Suspend Your Superstitions

We all know that this weekend it’s the UDK Rundgang, allowing you to indulge your nosy side and peer into the studio and workspaces of the crème de la crème of Berlin’s student population. However that does not mean that that’s all the city has in store for you over the next few days. Banish your Friday the 13th superstitions and take to the streets, hopping from gallery to gallery and investigating the eclectic extravaganza that is about to take place over the next few nights. Check out our handy opening tour where we’ve collected a selection of the most entertaining events.
