These were the highlights of the Berlin Gallery Weekend

Of nylon tights and dog people: We present four exhibitions of the Gallery Weekend in Berlin, which have remained particularly in our memory - and which are still open after the weekend.

Galerie Max Hetzler Gallery Weekend Berlin Art

The Berlin Gallery Weekend can best be summed up with one feeling: short-lived it was and wonderful at the same time. Because no sooner did galleries, collections, project spaces and institutions open their doors on Friday than it was over again, the 14th Open Gallery Weekend. More than 30,000 art enthusiasts flocked to the art venues, which once again shows: The Gallery Weekend, which was once founded in 2005 out of the powerlessness of the location, has long since turned into a permanent fixture within the art scene. After all, there is hardly any other place in Europe where so many artists live and work as in Berlin, and the city currently boasts around 300 galleries. Despite - or perhaps because of - its established galleries, the Berlin of art regularly manages to reinvent itself. In Berlin, glamour and unpolishedness meet and create exciting synergies and new formats. Reason enough to present you four exhibitions that have inspired us - and that are still welcoming visitors after Gallery Weekend.

1. Tanya Leighton, Oliver Laric In Chinese astrology, the year 2018 is under the sign of the dog. Oliver Laric takes this as an opportunity to explore the mythological and art historical significance of the dog, as well as the themes of transformation and metamorphosis. In addition to a video work, the show *"*Year of the Dog" includes three cast-resin sculptures, under whose surface salamanders, crabs and, yes really, human ears swim. Based on the Egyptian god Anubis - usually depicted as a man with a jackal's head - the dog-people point to ancient ideas about the afterlife. As the protector of souls and part of the court of the dead, he decided on the granting of eternal life.

2. Buchholz Gallery, R.H. Quaytman Buchholz Gallery shows paintings by the American artist R.H. Quaytman, which were created as a result of a research trip from Greece via Vienna and Berlin to Warsaw. In "An Evening, Chapter 32" Quaytman deals with depictions of Amazons and Persians in Greek temples, which she relates to impressions of the Polish landscape. The artist organizes her oeuvre in a complex system of chapters. This allows her to link objects with art historical references closely to exhibition sites and the present.

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style Hola the wood fairy, but from the reading corner we can not get out of the whole autumn. And that's what we thought when we shot the beautiful pieces of furniture from &tradition in the summer. The Danish label for furniture, accessories and lighting has already enchanted us many times in the past, so it was about time that we give ourselves a little bit to the label when it comes to creating a beautiful, cozy feel-good corner for your home. Admittedly, having the products of &tradition at home and being able to create a great reading corner with them, has already pleased us quite a bit. When else do you have the opportunity to equip a corner through and through with design classics? Well, well, we didn't get used to it, after all, the great pieces were only visiting for the shoot. But nevertheless or just because of it: Our Interior-Wishlist has now become a lot longer. Here comes our inspiration for a cozy rea...

These are Germany's most beautiful hotels

These are Germany's most beautiful hotels The last few months have sharpened our focus: On the fact that good things are sometimes closer than we thought. We have compiled twelve of our favorite vacation destinations on our doorstep for your next trip - old classics and new treasures. Mauritzhof, Münster The "Mauritzhof" on the edge of Münster's old town has been around since the 80s. However, the 52-room boutique hotel underwent a butterfly-like transformation a few years ago, with the Berlin design studio Lambs and Lions simultaneously providing the pupae and the cocoon of heavy fabrics and warm colors, double rooms from 159 euros. Rosso, Allgäu South of the Elbe, life is not the same. That's what Lisa Rühwald and Christian Müller noticed when they set off from Hamburg two years ago "with a healthy dose of naivety in their luggage". They didn't get as far as Italy, because a farm in the Allgäu region fell in front of their feet. So they broug...

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien (Advertising) In cooperation with OTTO, we have taken a look at the balcony, which is even called a window to the outside world by some. Who does not know it? During the long autumn and winter time the balcony degenerates felt to a garbage outdoor storage, the plants hang through, it is a small tragedy, at most to cool drinks or on New Year's Eve the balcony has found a use in the winter. All the better that spring has finally arrived in our country and we can once again give our balconies our full attention. The balcony story The history of the balcony, by the way, can be traced back to around the birth of Christ. If we believe ancient Roman wall drawings, covered balconies on buildings were already common in the Roman Empire. In the Orient, too, wood-carved balconies provided a view of the public, especially for women. With the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, balconies came to the Mediterranean region and thus spread to Europe. At first, balco...
