This time, for Madeline's first solo show. In the work she's doing now, she builds installations with collected found materials and uses them as a set for live performance. The documentation of these performances - photos, videos, books - are exhibited and shown.
The performance on Saturday, which was named one of the top 10 Berlin shows to catch by Saatchi Gallery, was one-night-only. The gallery was packed and she performed for 30 minutes in silence for a rapt audience.
Berlin itself was coated with 6 inches of ice. Seems they haven't heard about the old ice pick + salt combo. O sure, you betcha, that'll do the trick (thick Minnesota accent). So we stayed put at the cafe and got decadent. Coffee followed by wine. Chocolate and cigarettes. English and German and Spanish.
On the late side, we headed out to hear some of Berlin's best DJs on their night off. Once a month, Oye Record Store throws a party in a small club in Prenzlauer Berg.
It feels like a living room, complete with East Germanish light fixtures, and the vibes are totally Berlin. Everyone smokes like crazy and no one tries too hard and half the people look slightly familiar. There's no stress, no one to impress, and no end in sight. The DJs will keep throwing down records for as long as you wanna dance.
