VICTOR FOXTROT DESIGN COMES TO BERLIN — RECOMMENDED BY NILS PHILIPP

VICTOR FOXTROT DESIGN COMES TO BERLIN — RECOMMENDED BY NILS PHILIPP

This is a pop-up that certainly lives up to its name: the colors of the furniture, lighting and home goods from Victor Foxtrot are nothing if not striking. Based in Hamburg, the design studio is setting up shop in Wilmersdorf for one day only this Friday (24.03.2023) with a selection of reduced forms and single colors. These are recurrent themes of founder pair Florian Vogel and Carolin Kreidel’s designs, which are mostly manufactured in their own workshop in the Hansestadt. The duo’s pieces immediately catch your eye with their bright, dazzling forms, making a smart addition to monocolor interiors. A swinging armchair made of powder-coated steel tubes in blood orange? A sage green chair with matching cushions? A wafer-thin pink side table? A neon yellow ottoman under an ocean blue floor lamp? Take your pick. Incidentally: we’re told the name Victor Foxtrot has something to do with cufflinks and the NATO phonetic alphabet – we’ll let Carolin and Florian do the explaining in person…

PHOTOS, FASHION & SNEAK PEEKS — FOTOGRAFISKA DAYS AT ATELIER GARDENS

PHOTOS, FASHION & SNEAK PEEKS — FOTOGRAFISKA DAYS AT ATELIER GARDENS

Many things have changed since the pandemic, one of which is the timing of EMOP, the European Month of Photography. Traditionally it’s always taken place in autumn, but for the tenth edition of the photo festival it has shifted to spring. The timing is ideal – not least because of the planned launch of the Berlin branch of the Fotografiska museum in Stockholm. It’s the latest project by Yoram Roth, the Berlin developer with a love of pop art and Berlin institutions (Clärchens Ballhaus, tip magazine). To take advantage of EMOP and to start things with a bang, Fotografiska is offering a sneak peek next week with Fotografiska Days (23–25.03.2023). Under the banner “Cultural Fabric – Rereading the Relationship Between Fashion and Art Practices,” the program will run at the Atelier Gardens on the former BUFA campus in Tempelhof with a group exhibition, panel discussions, workshops, portfolio reviews, film screenings and a party.

The topic at hand is contemporary culture and its values, portrayal and meaning, with particular focus on the interplay between image and fashion. Fashion theorist Lea Vene helped Fotografiska curators Marina Paulenka and Thomas Schäfer to create what is a very inspiring program. Artists on show include Cibelle Cavalli Bastos, Julie Poly, Carlota Guerrero and Mouse Lamrab and the party line-up is already fixed. It’s set to be a wonderfully diverse and high-quality program that will leave you wanting more – which is not a problem, since you will have the new gallery to check out later in 2023. It will be located in the old Tacheles building on Oranienburger Straße (another Berlin classic), bringing a new kind of art back to its traditional walls.

LIT OUT LOUD — AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR TALKS AND BOOK CLUB CHATS IN BARS

LIT OUT LOUD — AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR TALKS AND BOOK CLUB CHATS IN BARS

Just you, a cup of tea and the printed page – books can be a lonely business, can’t they? But reader, it doesn’t have to be this way, because Berlin’s literature community has two gatherings lined up that will have you starting a fresh, people-filled chapter. First up is the British Council Literature Seminar (16–18.03.2023) which starts tonight with a special event with author Bernardine Evaristo at Oyoun. You can join the 2019 Booker Prize winner in conversation with literary agent Sharmaine Lovegrove, where the topic will be class and contemporary writing in the UK. The program continues tomorrow with a reading and discussion with British/Irish writer Kit De Waal. Now fast forward to next Friday and the Leseclubfestival (24.03), a lit meetup that combines 33 book club-style events across 10 German cities.

The festival works as follows: you pick a book that appeals and buy a €27 ticket which includes a copy of the book sent to your address, entry to the event with the author and a drink. For its Berlin events, the festival has partnered up with youth literature collective Kabeljau und Dorsch, who will be moderating conversations between readers and authors. Austrian writer Tonio Schachinger will be leading discussion about his book “Echtzeitalter” at Palermo Bar in Neukölln, while nearby at Wolf Kino 29-year-old author Cecilia Joyce Röski will be chatting about her debut novel “Poussi”. Incidentally, Kabeljau und Dorsch also host regular book-based events of their own, so be assured: you’ll never read alone.
