THE NEW THE MAP GALLERY OPENS WITH THE EXHIBITION “MELANCHOLIA” — RECOMMENDED BY ANAÏS RÖSCHKE

THE NEW THE MAP GALLERY OPENS WITH THE EXHIBITION “MELANCHOLIA” — RECOMMENDED BY ANAÏS RÖSCHKE

We’ve waited a long time for the opening of The Map Gallery, and now the moment has finally arrived. Why? It’s simple: when Mon Muellerschoen, Andrea von Goetz, and Peter Buchberger join forces, surprises are bound to happen. Exciting contemporary art pieces will now grace the walls between design masterpieces on Linienstraße. Renowned artists like Elisa Breyer, Philipp Fürhofer, Kura Kazunori, Magda Kracewicz, Anton Peitersen, Maria von Thurn und Taxis, Vincent Vandaele, Jorinde Voigt, and Björn Wallbaum Weltbrandt are among those featured. The inaugural exhibition brings together works exploring the theme of melancholy. Why melancholy in January? In Berlin? A time when the sun hides behind a gray sky, and cold days flood our insides with intensity, albeit brief, like a tsunami. What would the world be without darkness, doubt, and sadness? Artists uniquely transform these emotions into energy, creativity, and glimpses of the future. Drop by, let yourself be surprised, and discover works, objects, and furniture capable of embracing darkness throughout the year.

Anaïs Röschke, with a background in the art world, oversees the program at Laufen Space Berlin and executes various formats for the architecture and construction industry through her agency, The Art of Business.

A 5-YEAR JOURNEY OF SIPPING DELICACIES: INSIDE BERLIN’S VELVET AND ITS SEASONAL SPECTACLE — RECOMMENDED BY YOLANDA EVANS

A 5-YEAR JOURNEY OF SIPPING DELICACIES: INSIDE BERLIN’S VELVET AND ITS SEASONAL SPECTACLE — RECOMMENDED BY YOLANDA EVANS

At Velvet, foraged plants, herbs, and flowers have a long shelf-life. This cocktail bar serves complex, yet delicate libations made from seasonal vegetables, fruit, and herbs found around the German capital. Although not new to the bar scene, a close-knit team dedicated to the craft operates this 6-year-old dimly lit watering hole with 55 seats. Bartender Ruben Neideck, Sarah Swantje Fischer, Alice Von Vincent, Julia Raschia and Inan Öztürk meet every Tuesday for a lab day lasting three to four hours, in which they distill, ferment, and infuses among other thing for future cocktail-making. While some components, like syrups, are derived from fairly straightforward infusions, the staff also likes to centrifuge fruit juices in summer and use the clarified (and more stable) liquid to make cordials or shrubs to last through winter. And speaking of the menu, it’s a revolving door of seasonal cocktails with one new cocktail added each week so that the drink you loved one day might be gone on your next visit. So, stop by often so that you don’t miss out on any of the fabulous drinks the team might be cooking up in the lab.

LOUMI: THE NEW CULINARY ESCAPE IN KREUZBERG — RECOMMENDED BY SANDRA

LOUMI: THE NEW CULINARY ESCAPE IN KREUZBERG — RECOMMENDED BY SANDRA

Loumi is all about spectacular flavors, wow-worthy ingredients, and a stunningly relaxed atmosphere. Mical and Karl-Louis, the two friends and makers behind Loumi, were famous for their iconic private dining events. Now (lucky us) they just opened their first ever restaurant! The beautifully designed space boasts only 14 seats with the chefs dishing out a single 7-course tasting menu. If you manage to nab a spot, you’ll discover intriguing bites such as tiny razor clam tacos, and menu stunners made with zesty yuzu, amazake, and sauces and broths meticulously cooked. Expect a seafood-heavy line-up, and indulge in hand-dived scallops from Norway, and fish coming straight from Brittany. Or get ready to sink your teeth in marbled dairy cow filet, and locally farmed produce shifting with the season. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but let’s just say it’s not your typical fine dining experience. It’s all about unpretentious vibes, a cool playlist, and food that makes your head spin. Their kitchen counter is a prime spot for drinks with a view of the chefs. Walk in, grab a Negroni, and soak up the ambiance and buzz! PS No one leaves hungry! There’s also a delightful bar snack menu.

Sandra (Berlin.Gal.Eats) loves exploring eateries, chatting with chefs, farmers & makers. Before Berlin she lived a culinary nomad’s life, eating her way through Europe, the US and Asia.

DISCOVER BOOKS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE AT THE APARTAMENTO MAGAZINE BOOK POP-UP — RECOMMENDED BY FREDDY KORNFELD

DISCOVER BOOKS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE AT THE APARTAMENTO MAGAZINE BOOK POP-UP — RECOMMENDED BY FREDDY KORNFELD

As a gallery owner, I am a great lover of art and books. So this week is a very special one for me: Yesterday (22.11.2023) a bookstore opened in Berlin – for just four weeks. Here you’ll find books that reflect and discuss the zeitgeist, as well as classics and forgotten treasures. The store is presented by the great magazine Apartamento, which provides tongue-in-cheek insights into the homes of special people, artists and personalities. You might discover that even some of these much-admired people don’t always hang up their towel after a shower or clear away their plates after breakfast or dinner. It’s wonderfully authentic and far removed from the coolness of glossy magazines. Maybe the trio Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa and Marco Velardi will come to our artists’ booth and the 69salon by Kornfeld sometime … We’re excited and won’t be doing any extra cleaning, we promise! All book lovers can browse through the Apartamento Studio until 22.12. Incidentally, the store was designed by architect Sam Chermayeff and looks pretty hip with a silver bed and a rubber curtain that looks like milk.

Freddy Kornfeld is a Charlottenburg gallery icon with three spaces on Fasanenstraße: Kornfeld Galerie Berlin, 68projects and 69salon. He opened new exhibitions with Tammam Azzam, Philip Grözinger and Stefan Rinck on Saturday (18.11.2023).

BOOK SHOPPING AT LITERATURENSOHN IN BRUNNENSTRASSE — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

BOOK SHOPPING AT LITERATURENSOHN IN BRUNNENSTRASSE — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

Reading can provide a much-needed break from digital doom scrolling. The only question is: what to read? Literaturensohn offers help! In September, Coco Meurer brought her eponymous Instagram account to Brunnenstaße. Only books she has herself read make it onto the shelf here. Curation. Curation. Curation. Since 2020, the book enthusiast has been recommending works by young, fierce, strong and female voices on her channel. She has developed three categories for her recommendations – from light holiday reads to philosophical hunks. Coco has now moved to Brunnenstrasse. And because she loves not just books, but creative work in all its forms, the shop regularly hosts events with creative partners. A workshop with crochet artist Mimo from Amigurumimo, whose cute figurines are also sold in the store, was fully booked in just a few minutes. In January, the Cologne-based Ben Tausend Tattoos will make a guest appearance. And if you’re planning to launch a novel, with her creative office, Coco also develops outstanding digital campaigns, covers and artworks. Literaturensohn is really worth a visit, even if your pile of books is already stacked high…

Verena Schwarz has been in charge of communications for international companies for many years, most recently for furniture brands. She also has a strong passion for culture and sport in all its forms.
