only now finding the time to upload some of the pictures i took at berlin gallery weekend with the old camera. from 1-3 may, many important art galleries hosted openings and events. on sunday, 3 may, seven berlin galleries joined up with an international gallery each and held the event 7x2 in an old building on karl-marx-allee, not far from alexanderplatz. the buildings on that major thoroughfare were built in the 1950s as 'palaces for the people', modelled on the grand stalinist-era avenues in moscow. in a way, the buildings may seem daunting, but the apartments are now really sought after. they are quite spacious and light, with parquet flooring, some of them even have a view of the television tower on alexanderplatz. the pictures show moments from the 7x2 event, some of them giving you a glimpse of one of those apartments, where 'texte zur kunst', a contemporary art magazine, have their offices. lots of people were there, many of them with kids. the light that day was amazing. i'm glad i went.
(the picture of the kids playing with confetti was taken at the haubrok collection - the confetti was in fact an artwork and the children were allowed to play with it. more info here.)
am a bit tired, so maybe this doesn't sound too inspired, but i wanted to share these pictures with you anyway. hope you'll bear with me... :)

wonderful blog! T from Hawaii
liebe kristina. mich hast du jetzt aber sehr inspiriert. die fotos sind wirklich wunderschön! sie haben etwas verträumtes, und ja, das licht ist super. wirkt warm, und alles sieht so entspannt aus...war es am späten nachmittag? mein lieblingsbild ist die frau am fenster. was sieht sie? was denkt sie? und das konfetti zimmer hätte meinen kindern gefallen. ich mag kunst zum anfassen. vor allem auch wenn man mit den kindern unterwegs ist. war das jetzt arbeit oder freizeit für dich? liebe grüsse und einen schönen sonntag wünsche ich dir*
I know 2 kids who would have loved the confettis !!
