and some other Berlin photos now available
here.
Anyway, the city was brilliant. Last time I was in Berlin it was around year 1995 and I remember it was all grey and rainy. The streets were too wide and there was nothing to see, really.
Well, now... it was grey and rainy and the streets were bit too wide and the city was full of huge, shiny and new buildings, but there was definitely much to see. Except that the thing we went to see, the
Berlin Biennial, was... erm... empty like Berlin in 1995. I wonder where the art was?
Well, because the Biennial was slightly shitty, we run through around 30 galleries instead, but really can't remember anything anymore, except
Chiharu Shiota, whose work we'd love to see in Helsinki soon.

Originally uploaded by Taiga the Fox. I also visited
Deutsche Guggenheim, which was erm, bit tiny. Because it was like that I saw the huge
Hamburger Bahnhof. To be honest having a golf cart would have been handy there. I also visited the
Pregnant Oyster,
Martin-Gropius-Bau and
Neue Nationalgalerie collections, where I saw some wonderful works of
Rebecca Horn of many. We also met lovely
Ann-Sofi and visited
Jeppe's wonderful studio.
I will always be in shame, because when I was so concentrated on finding the right U-bahn, I forgot to take my camera with me, when I met lovely
Bowleserised and darling
BiB, who were utterly fabulous and great talking about sauna, vodka and blogging and other essentials of life.
I am in the eye
