Viewing Berlin Gallery Weekend *Discoveries

If you’re lucky enough to be in Berlin this weekend, make sure to scope out the first edition of Gallery Weekend *Discoveries, a new series of exhibitions spotlighting fresh artistic talent organised by the Gallery Weekend Berlin network. Gallery Weekend Berlin has long been a highlight of the international arts calendar, and it seems its little sister is primed to follow suit.

Some 50 galleries across the city are taking part in the new initiative, among them Tanja Wagner, Crone and Sprüth Magers, which presents a solo exhibition of ten new works by the Paris-based artist Hanni Alftan. König Galerie, meanwhile, highlights a trio of artists whose reputations are on the rise, including painter Dennis Osadebe and Californian-based artist Heather Day. At Peres Projects, you’ll find Staying with the Trouble, Harm Gerdes’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Gallery hop complete, head down to the Neue Nationalgalerie to catch its solo Alexander Calder exhibition, featuring his entrancing mobiles, stabiles and standing mobiles. If you’re a fan of avant-garde art, look to Museum Barberini’s brilliant exhibition exploring Impressionism in Russia. Scoot along to Transit for supper before sipping on classic cocktails at Ora. And then to bed. Or not. Berlin’s famously hedonistic clubs have finally reopened. At least for now, the all-night party has resumed. See you on the dance floor.
