ONE SHOT TO BE HONEST – PHOTOGRAPHY BY BIANCA WERNER

Bianca Werner was born in 1987 in Halle (Saale) where she also first got introduced to analogue photography while getting her professional qualification as a graphic designer. Bianca moved to Berlin in 2008 and started using solely disposable cameras in the beginning of 2012 after reading an interview with photographer Tasya van Ree, who said: “A disposable camera—you have to respect composition and spontaneity first—then you can move on to the more expensive stuff.”

TEN ::: a collage exhibition and live painting

During their lives, German born artist Talissa Mehringer and Romanian artist Luiza Mogosanu have changed homelands various times, traveled extensively, and polished their artistic nerve in the U.S. and France respectively. Throughout life’s tribulations and many other dazzling adventures, both of them managed to hone an odd and unhinged skill: matching dark, biting sarcasm and humor from everyday words and situations. They met for the first time last spring at a group show in Berlin and went on to join forces for several events in the city.

Win 1×2 tickets for PURESQUE BUNKER | VISIONS & ART

We are happy to be giving away 1×2 tickets to Puresque|Bunker Visions with live painting presented by VAGE.

Puresque is a project that was founded in 2010 by the charismatic mixing wizzard Mocca and techno icon Paul Brtschitsch. Their first collaborative release “001a” made it directly onto an Ostgut Ton mix compilation. Soon after they started a residency at the legendary Tresor club, where they invited along well-selected guest acts such as James Ruskin, The Black Dog, Skudge, Terence Fixmer.

The duo then released their debut album Leitmotiv, which was charted and played by almost everyone in the techno elite, such as Adam Beyer, Ben Klock, Carl Cox, Carl Craig, Marcel Dettmann, and many more.

Now the duo has a new venture: The Bunker is a new residency in a special location, where Puresque & friends combine art exhibitions and techno music once a month.

This month features live painting by Alaniz, Dear Johnie & Talissa Mehringer.
The event starts at 11:00 p.m. on March 23rd.
Venue: Koepenicker Str. 18 – 20, 10997 Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany
Purchase tickets!

Super Mega Fun Awesome Party Time – Solo Exhibition with Cyrus Smith

“Because fuck it, that’s why”

When you first encounter the Super Mega Fun Awesome Party Time exhibit by artist Cyrus Smith your eyes dance along the walls moving from one piece to another. It’s hard to know where to begin and that’s the beauty of the exhibit, you can just follow your eyes wherever they lead you and let your attention settle for a moment before flitting off to the next piece. It’s not to say that the works in the exhibit aren’t coherent, they work together very well and the more you time you spend with the exhibit the more you find. Rather than one linear thought, the exhibit works more like a seemingly random collection of thoughts that, at their core, are very much connected.

It all began nearly a year ago as Messy Mondays, when George Ironside was invited to take over F.U.C. Bar on Monday nights. On a night when the bar was normally closed, she was given complete creative freedom to create something new. Ambitiously, she decided to showcase a new artist and DJ every week. Messy Mondays were a weekly staple for 12 weeks, before morphing into Turbo Tuesdays – giving everyone a day off to rest up after the weekend.
