Play in Progress

This weekend is this year’s Gallery Weekend Berlin, with lots of openings and special opening hours. I’ve gone through the program and picked out what interests me the most, which is anything to do with paiting and drawing. If that’s your preference, too, you can save yourself a bit of trouble and check out this handy list instead:

• Drawings and watercolors by Lyonel Feininger at Moeller Berlin.
• Temporary tattoo studio at Arratia, Beer.
• David Shrigley at BQ-Berlin.
• Drawings by Raymond Pettibon and paintings by Anselm Reyle at Contemporary Fine Arts.
• Snoopy vs. The Red Baron by Fiona Banner at Galerie Barbara Thumm.
• Drawings and prints by Alice Aycock at Thomas Schulte.
• Paintings by Glenn Brown and Albert Pehlen at Galerie Max Hetzler.
• Paintings by Andy Hope at Galerie Guido W. Baudach.
• Daniel Megerle at Galerie Crone.
• Paintings by Markus Oehlen at Gerhardsen Gerner.
• Paintings by Corinne Wasmuht at Meyer Rieger.

For your and my convenience I have marked up these places in the GWB map in blue and yellow: Programm_Stadtplan_Ansicht_play.

Nice: gallery websites without images of the exhibition in question, gallery websites that contain nothing but an address, websites of galleries that ostensibly partake in the Gallery Weekend Berlin but the program information does not extend past 16 April. I probably won’t be visiting any of them, and they have my contempt in differing degrees, which is probably fine as they don’t seem to be interested in having me, or somebody like me, at their exhibitions or interested in what they are doing.
