You probably have noticed them strolling down Alte Schönhauser – the green cargo containers set along the street by Platoon. Now they’ve become really impossible to miss since there are 34 of them on a 4500m2 property. The communication agency Platoon, founded 13 years back, opened up its Berlin Kunsthalle and tonight is the opening event. It’s the second Kunsthalle; the first is located in Seoul. The Berlin version is meant to question the term “Kunsthalle” (art gallery) and discuss questions such as “art & culture as a brand”. For the following two years select guest curators will showcase creative projects you won’t normally find in common art spaces. Lectures, workshops and much more will complete the program.
