Ok, so it’s been a bit quiet on this page for a while, but there’s a reason to it, as you will realize once you get to see our new issue which, as always, will be the best issue ever. The theme: “Profit/Loss”. This will be our gravest, saddest, most moving and also most serious issue ever. This work by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins, the “piETà” (2007) may serve as indicator of the things to come…

Manuel Raeder at ELGARAFI – a reason to go to West-Berlin
ELGARAFI shows “Open line into times Tic-tac-tic-tac”, versatile furniture objects (upper left corner of image) by Manuel Raeder, opening tonight, opening now, to be precise, on show until 28 March, 2010.
What does ELGARAFI stand for?
Concept free and an invitation to visit West-Berlin
What is the idea behind it?
Anything is possible, nobody invited – everybody welcome
What is there to find?
Anything that appears. Everyone who will show up.

New discipline in sleek – architecture
The latest developments in shoe-making force us to include a third discipline in sleek, next to art and fashion: architecture. In our next issue themed “Profit | Loss”, Imelda Marcos will reveal how shoes became her Achilles’ heel.
World Community Grid Water Features by AIDS-3D
One of sleek’s favourite German words of all times is “Zimmerspringbrunnen”. What it means? Apparently much more than we ever dared to hope, as the latest three-dimensional outpourings of one of our (not of all times) favourite artist duos, AIDS-3D, promise to reveal. “A group of spectacular cast-fiberglass fountains stand together on an elevated server-room floor….” Rest of story: www.aids-3d.com

Tonight at .HBC Berlin, fashion designer Emilie Luc-Duc and artist Morgan Belenguer, will teach us a little lesson on consumerism. Over their 10 day residency at Berlin’s most versatile art-cum-social entertainment space of the moment, they deconstructed mass-produced garments “to find the unique”.
“UNDO”, opening tonight at 7 pm, 18-27 February, Mon-Sat 12-6 pm. undoworkshop.blogspot.com
