Courtesy the artist and Klemm&#8217;s Berlin<\/p>\n<h3>Good photography by Viktoria Binschtok at Galerie Klemm\u2019s<\/h3>\n<p>With their exhibition of works by German photographer Viktoria Binschtok, Klemm\u2019s will probably reward us once again with a thoughtful and hot photography show. In her ongoing \u201cCluster\u201d series, the artist inputs her own work into search engines; she then re-stages, manipulates and ultimately appropriates the related images generated by Google &amp; co., combining them into assemblages that address individuality, sovereignty within the digital and authorship &#8211; all of this without pretentiousness or elitism.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTRKNLLFupm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">O famoso casaco de chuva deixou de ser apenas um item utilit\u00e1rio.

During GW, for sure you will at some point feel like you\u2019re drowning in oversized, slightly deconstructed versions of Colombo\u2019s trademark coat. Best combined with the now insufferable tote bag, a pair of dirty sneakers, your unemployed uncle\u2019s track-suit and skepticism towards the gallery system (aka capitalism), it should both communicate a fondness for retro TV detectives and the oeuvre of Chris Kraus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iulia_nistor-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1735\" \/> Iulia Nistor, Evidence L7 F\/ W0 P5, 2016. Courtesy the artist and Plan B, Berlin and Cluj.<\/p>\n<h3>Small formats, big effects with Iulia Nistor at Galeria Plan B<\/h3>\n<p>Plan B, a gem among Berlin\u2019s mid-size galleries, decided to give its desirable gallery weekend spot to the young painter Iulia Nistor. The artist focuses on small formats, a muted palette and forms reminding of body parts and crushed crustaceans alike. Perhaps like no other gallery in the city, Plan B manages to showcase artists such as Nistor, capable of capturing both the elegance and gloominess of human nature, a combo that feels familiar to many of us, especially those using Berlin public transport regularly. Also, gallery personnel is extremely friendly and always ready to explain what\u2019s on view, so every visit to the Potsdamer Stra\u00dfe backyard the gallery\u2019s located in is worth it.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Shady people for amusement<\/h3>\n<p>In usual times, understatement and brutal honesty are two defining characteristics of Berlin and its inhabitants. But gallery weekend isn\u2019t the usual, so here\u2019s a fun tip: for entertainment purposes, take a chance and engage in a conversation with the shadiest person in the room. Inevitably and with bountiful amounts of faux detachment, they will tell you dubious stories about the trillion famous and talented people they\u2019re intimate with. Their features include suits that just don\u2019t fit right, a propensity for talking about artists using their first name only and fresh business cards distributed more generously than tres leches cake at a Quincea\u00f1era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/rosenkranz-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Gallery Weekend rosenkranz\" width=\"1500\" height=\"998\" \/> Pamela Rosenkranz, Installation view at Karma International, Zurich, 2014<\/p>\n<h3>Female power, at least a little bit<\/h3>\n<p>Next to Klemm\u2019s and Plan B, other galleries have decided to give young female artists a platform to show their work during that busy weekend. Pamela Rosenkranz\u2019s sensory experimentations at Spr\u00fcth Magers, Guan Xiao\u2019s reflections on urban environments at Kraupa Tuskany-Zeidler and Kasia Fudakowski\u2019s humorous (de)constructions of the binary at Chertl\u00fcdde will probably be highlights; at non-participating galleries, we\u2019re looking forward to Grace Weaver at Soy Capitan, Jasmin Werner at Gillmeier Rech (which already opened April 22) and Micah Hesse at Neumeister Bar-Am.<\/p>\n<h3>FOMO<\/h3>\n<p>You might actually not give a damn about not attending that bespoke dinner with blue-chip collectors at some chic, not-yet vandalised restaurant in Kreuzberg. But believe me, there\u2019s a whole lot of other things you\u2019ll feel like you cannot miss under any circumstance, but inevitably will. Performances by under-the-radar Nicaraguan artist twins, supremely cool parties in unreachable locations everybody seems to be at, some group show that wasn\u2019t advertised anywhere but is apparently the single best thing everybody has seen in a decade, a coffee date with your amazing friend you haven\u2019t met for much too long\u2026 Your gut will hurt at the though of all the wonderful aspects of Gallery Weekend you\u2019ve failed to experience. Don\u2019t take it too seriously: there\u2019s still Snapchat and IG stories to catch up on trendier people\u2019s lives while you\u2019re sweating out cheap vodka in the waiting area at Sch\u00f6nefeld Airport, or you can see all of that for a couple of weeks after gallery weekend anyway, if you live in town.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 2017 Berlin Gallery Weekend on the doorstep, the German capital&#8217;s art world is about to be filled with what it lacks the most: money, collectors, and a little glamour.
