It is now 40 days since Weiwei was arrested, and his show at the gallery neugerriemschneider serves as a reminder that the culture wars are not over, they have merely relocated.

Framed and exhibited were pieces from notorious street artists such as Obey and Prost, side by side with commercial stickers and anonymous artwork.

Things that can be easily expressed and separated by terms are, in reality, entangled, out of focus, alterable and, depending on the perspecitve, visible or invisible. Noise does not just describe clattering, din or sounds, but also almost implausible frequencies that can subliminally influence moods and points of view.

The Glenn Brown solo exhibition at Max Hetzler’s satellite gallery is a must-see for painting enthusiasts. Portraiture and figurative paintings, as well as ‘paint sculptures’, are presented in a grandiose flat near Savigny platz. The paintings are hauntingly beautiful and painstakingly rendered with Glenn Brown’s unique style of small, flowing lines of color.

Last night was the opening of Temptation To Be Good, works by Mercedes Helnwein at pool gallery in Berlin. The powerfully evocative exhibition offered a beautiful start to gallery weekend. Including a number of captivating pastel portraits, and a video in which these characters come to life (with music by her brother, Ali Helnwein), the artist’s third solo-exhibition at pool gallery is a must-see.
