On the shores of Plauer See in Kirchmöser, just under an hour west of Berlin, you’ll not only find some of Brandenburg’s most idyllic swimming spots, this summer the village is also being transformed into a branch of Berlin’s art scene. Together with the Silent Green Kulturquartier, nine galleries, including Ebensperger, Esther Schipper and Sprüth Magers, are occupying an old powder factory and a former theater. After decades of vacancy, the impressive brick buildings will be brought to life this summer by artists such as John Bock, Karin Sander, Lea Draeger and David Horvitz. Film fans should find the area familiar: Christian Petzold shot his drama “Barbara” at the site. This weekend (01. & 02.07.) visitors will have the opportunity to drift through the building’s 60 rooms and discover paintings, sculptures, video works and installations. Food will also be provided by Mars Restaurant, who will be serving snacks and drinks. Time to buy a ticket for the regional express train and get your swimwear packed!
