Baker girl is baking bread

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Manno!! I still haven’t tested the Bread Exchange though I find it a super fine concept! Check the Facebook group link for more info!

- and stop by Malin’s (baker girl) website. I love the “A photo a day” diary thing!

Bread baking soundtrack.

PS. If somebody is close to my office, please bring me a ventilator, a blow up pool and a sect-aperol. I owe you!

Bordel abroad

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Friends stayed until 8:00 in the morning at the last BDA party. I don’t expect to stay that long on Thursday but since it’s close to where I life I could stroll by for an after work drink.

Just a side note to the photo used for this flyer. I find bodybuilding pretty bizarre but also kind of fascinating. To have the self discipline to sculpture your body in such an extreme way. Dedication!

Eugen Sandow, born Friedrich Wilhelm Müller, the father of bodybuilding (lived 1867 – 1925).

Jusup Wilkosz, German bodybuilder during the golden age of bodybuilding in the 70es and 80es. Even trained with Arnold! Am I the only one who thinks he and Giampi look alike?

Melody meets minimal and flowers grow on paper too

My friend Sanna just released her super groovy EP Flowerhead exclusively on vinyl (300 copies, hurry up!)

The supernatural illustration on the cover was made by German artist Olaf Hajek who is currently doing an exhibition at Johanssen Gallery here in Berlin.

Your checklist:
1. Listen to Flowerheads on Sanna’s myspace profile.
2. Stop by Johanssen Gallery before July 20th to see Olaf’s beautiful, imaginative and spiritual work.

It’s not prying.
More like an official sneak peak.

Freunde von Freunden is a brilliant website that brings you closer to the private lifes of people in Berlin through interviews and photos from their homes.

Check it out if you don’t know it already! It’s kind of like a local version of The Selby. Unfortunately the interviews are only in German but at least the photos are inter-linguistic.

(Is inter-linguistic a word or did I just make that up?)

Bringing breakdance into the arts

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

A friend of mine recently watched this sold out show at Neue Nationalgallerie.

The Berlin breakdancer group Flying Steps (they also run a label and a dance academy here in Berlin) performed to classical music as the Flying Bachs.

Check out this short documentary.

- and this is how they “normally” perform…

I think it’s time for tea

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I just discovered the Berlin lingerie brand Dorotea Time and instantly loved the brand based on this playful photo shoot.

Dorothee Erle is the creative mind behind the colorful delicates – and the artist behind the imaginative backdrop on the photos. I just mailed her to find out where to see the whole collection.

The model is Miss Julietta La Doll, a Berlin based burlesque performer. She can actually be seen live tonight along with other burlesque performers at La Fete Fatale. I’m tempted. Imagine the photos one could take.



Street art XL

I took this photo today at Rosenthaler Platz and then just discovered the video posted by a friend on Facebook.

Bierpinsel

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I still haven’t made it to see this spectacular building in real life. For me, it’s one of those “creations” you can neither categorise as beautiful nor hideous. It’s somehow just entitled to exist.

Since April 1st and until May 15th four international artists work on the tower: Flying Förtress, Honet, Sozyone and Craig ‚KR‘ Costello. Inside the tower nine other artists exhibit and Berlin street artists will work around the tower – in the streets and subway.

They MADE it

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I was invited to the opening of MADE on Saturday. A space where creatives can come together to exchange work and ideas.

I had a bad flashback to Copenhagen nightclub NASA when we arrived: Everything was kept in white. I don’t like. I understand how a white space is like a white piece of paper – “start doodling!”. I guess that was the idea behind it? Too sterile for me.

BUT once the first artists started their performance, moving around and inbetween the audience creating interaction and involvement they won me over.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay untill the end so didn’t see the last shows. Have to stop by one of the next days. As far as I understand it’s open to the public from now on(?) Check their website for more information!

Because ordinary is no place to be

Received this invitation for an event next week. Wanted to show you, because of the extraordinary format.

This is what it’s about:

TOY made ONE

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

On Friday we popped in at the TOY made ONE event at UNDPLUS on our way to the concert with Florence and the Machine at Astra. Amazing voice she has btw. That Florence Welch.
