With what seems like hundreds of galleries to visit, Gallery Weekend in Berlin can be overwhelming. Let us help you navigate the overflowing landscape with our top three picks in Mitte. Number one, head to Kow for South African artist and Berlin resident Candice Breitz’s “Love Story” where she creates a powerful narrative illusion in a series of video interviews and projections. The likes of Alec Baldwin and Julianne Moore retell stories of anguish and forced migration, but also of love and hope. Then, get a load of !Mediengruppe Bitnik’s “Is anybody home lol” at Eigen+Art Lab. This group of two artists focus heavily on bringing digital practices into the physical world, and testing misunderstandings about technologies. Last but not least, visit Capitain Petzel for German abstract painter Charline von Heyl’s latest exhibition. Want more? Peruse the full list of galleries and artists here.
