Four days, four locations, non-stop movement – this is the motto of Movement Week Berlin from Swiss sportswear brand On, who have teamed up with Urban Sports Club. The two brands have joined forces to create a free programme to get Berliners moving. Over four days (02–05.05.2023), you can take part in around 20 sports courses in four studios totally free of charge. The options are varied, ranging from boxing classes at Atomix to barre, pilates and yoga classes at John & Jane’s Soulbase to intensive bootcamp sessions at John & Jane’s Powerbase and Storm. It’s a fun opportunity to try something new, discover new trainers and meet like-minded people. Then, once your workout is over, you can get stuck into some after-workout snacks, including “vitamin bombs” from Daluma. Fancy joining? Places are limited, so get yourself signed up asap. If you’re already an Urban Sports member, you can register for the courses via the app – if not, you can register online for individual courses. Whether you want to start your day actively, are looking for a lunch break workout or prefer to get moving in the evening, these four days will have you spoilt for choice. The promise (or at least the hope) is simple: boost your body so you’ll keep on moving long after the four days are over…

French artist Eva Jospin has a thing for cardboard. Her sculptures are constructed solely from layer upon layer of this most basic of materials. But the works that result are anything but pedestrian: they are huge, highly intricate worlds that often resemble dense forests. A recurring theme for Jospin is the richness of the land, a motif that is at the center of her collaboration with Champagne house Ruinart during this year’s Gallery Weekend (27.04–02.05.2023). Inspired by the terroir that gives the drink its characteristic taste, the artist has created an exhibition of sculptures, drawings and embroideries that will be on show at the Ruinart pop-up in the Amtsalon art space in Charlottenburg. Besides the exhibition, the pop-up (which runs throughout Gallery Weekend) will host a Ruinart bar that will be serving bubbles daily until 20h. Art, conversation and a glass of Champagne: all the ingredients you’ll ever need for an inspiring Gallery Weekend.
