Plans for next Saturday (4.3.17)? How about creating your own painting under the guidance of an acclaimed Berlin artist at a gallery set in a castle? As far as workshops go, this one’s pretty special — and we’re giving two readers the chance to take part for free. In a two hour session, you’ll work with color, sound and vibration to create an art piece with singing bowls under the guidance of Jeppe Hein, who was inspired by traditional Thai singing bowl rituals on his travels. The workshop is held at ZKR – Centre for Art and Public Space, located in a restored 1868 castle in Schlosspark Biesdorf. The two 15-participant sessions, held at 10h and 13h, will both be held in German. Take a look at what’s in store here. We think it’ll be an experience to remember.

Good curation is an art form in and of itself. But how does the profession actually work? A new series of talks, “Curators Inside”, founded by art historian Julia Rosenbaum and curator and critic Christine Nippe, shines the spotlight behind the scenes, inviting curators to share their approaches. Tomorrow night at the former Kindl brewery, the initiative’s fourth iteration invites Andreas Fiedler, Swiss art critic and artistic director of the Kindl — Centre for Contemporary Art, to provide an insight into his projects and his artistic process, including the current work on show in the old boiler room, David Claerbout’s “Olympia“. Admission is €10 and the talk is in German. Even if you can’t make it tomorrow, mark your calendars for the next round in March: a talk with Alya Sebti at Ifa-Galerie Berlin.

Since 2015, Cee Cee has been hosting interactive workshops together with select partners. In each workshop, we connect the Cee Cee community with the city’s makers and shakers, bringing their craft closer to our readers. This time, it’s the charming maker-duo behind Blond & Bieber, innovators in textile-based product design, who will introduce us to the topic by experimenting with algae coloring. Cee Cee, the Bulleit Whiskey team and our guests will be meeting at the Made.com showroom this Saturday. If you’d like to take part in the workshop, send an e-mail to win@ceecee.cc for a chance to win 2 x 1 ticket; deadline is tonight (19.01.2017, 23h)!
