Much like the weather forecast, our list of events for this week is a bit different than usual, and slightly unpredictable towards the end of the week. There are opportunities to indulge in various art and party forms, as well as to show your best self and give help to those who need it.

WEDNESDAY 21.05

Monarch Berlin / Skalitzer Strasse 134/1st floor, 10999 Berlin, U Kottbusser Tor / free entry / more info

FRIDAY 23.05

19.00 Arne Schreiber - folgen @ Galerie koal

WHY: By making the concealed patterns visible, Schreiber’s art appears to be a scanning microscope that probes into the optical depths and makes mathematical depths flicker between lines. In doing so, it adheres to the constitution of the material and the regularities of its inscribed program. Yet, it follows its own measuring results by constantly regenerating the ongoing production back to what has already been produced.

Galerie Koal / Brunnenstrasse 25 B / First floor, 10119 Berlin, U Rosenthaler Platz / open through 05.07 / free entry / more info

19.00 Giving Contours to Shadows @ Neuer Berliner Kunstverein

WHY: The art and research project Giving Contours to Shadows takes its cue from the Glissantian concept that history cannot be left in the hands of historians only. In that sense, the project looks at ways, by which artists, curators and thinkers relate to their epoch, to times past and to the drawing of prospective trajectories, thus weaving alternatives to established narratives.

Neuer Berliner Kunstverein / Chausseestrasse 128/129, 10115 Berlin, U Oranienburger Tor / open through 27.07 / free entry / more info

20.00 Maansi Jain - In sickness and in health, may you Glisten in perspiration @ Das Gift

WHY: Das Gift opens Giftraum this Friday for a three-day solo show of Maansi Jain's recent works on glass, acrylic glass, in addition to her recent photographic work. Fresh, cheerful and quirky - perfect for the start of the weekend.

Das Gift / Donausasse 119, 12043 Berlin, U Rathaus Neukölln / open through 25.05 / free entry / more info

20.00 Happy Birthday Chérie @ Studio Chérie

21.00 Folk the Flood - Humanitary concert for Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia @ Antje Öklesund

Both monetary donations, as well as donations of canned food, sanitary items, clothes, etc, will be collected.
