WE SORT YOUR WEEKEND WITH A SELECTION OF THE CITY’S ESSENTIAL MUST-DO EVENTS
Alexandre Haefeli, “The Company of Men”
“The Company of Men” by Alexandre Haefeli
6pm tonight marks Swiss photographer Alexandre Haefeli’s Berlin debut of his recent graduate work. “The Company of Men” explores the eroticism of the male form, combining nudity with nature. The photographer intends for his audience to become voyeurs – to leave behind reality and enter the realm of a romantic paradise. Invited to “look, to imagine and to desire” at this intimate exhibition, it is definitely not one to miss. And with a month to see the show – there is definitely no excuse.

On the Saturday noon panel is renowned documentary photographer, Paul Graham, joined by Deputy Director of FOAM Amsterdam, Marcel Feil.
C/O Berlin Foundation – Amerika Haus, Hardenbergstraße 22–24, 10623 Berlin
Peter Kaaden, Naaked
“Naaked” by Peter Kaaden
The success of Sleek Artist Peter Kaaden’s “Naaked” series is obvious by the fact that he is featuring the work in not one, but two exhibitions in Germany this weekend! The imagery, consisting of close-up photographs of the human body using a dentist’s camera, is an experiment which allows Kaaden to view the body from a new perspective. The work will be on show as a solo exhibit this weekend in Berlin, opening tomorrow evening. The exhibit only runs for a week, so make sure to plan ahead for your next day off.
Studiolo Berlin, Prinzenstraße 85 C, 10969 Berlin
Michelburger Music Festival
Michelberger Music Festival
This weekend brings about a music festival that is “about new material, collaborations, unique arrangements and dissolving borders”. Of the 85 confirmed artists preforming at Funkhaus Berlin, there is a wide variety of genres. From Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon to Boys Noize’s Alexander Ridha there is definitely something to suit everyone at this diverse event.
