BERLIN GALLERIES AUGUST - DECEMBER 2008
This overview of current and upcoming art exhibitions in Berlin until the end of 2008 might come handy to you.
First of all we want to point you at an interesting exhibition entitled SPREE2011 which opened at the beginning of this month at gallery AedesLand. The exhibition outlines the idea and implementation of the so called Spree2011 project which aims at turning the Spree into a clean and swimable river by the year 2011. The SPREE2011 project promises to create new urban spaces - from floating gardens to public swimming pools. At this new exhibition at AedesLand, Berlin architects and engineers who are currently working on this project will present their ideas and results. The exhibition runs until August 29, 2008 – AedesLand, Else-Ury-Bogen 600-601, 10623 Berlin, http://www.aedes-arc.de.
