Berlin's Art Forum


A major aspect of the program I'm in, Visual Culture, is German art. We spend a lot of time looking at art and the artists' responses to the world around them - for example their responses to WWI and WWII. And this weekend was no exception, as all of the students in the Visual Culture program as well as some students from Lexia's other program - the Architecture program, had the opportunity to go to the 15th edition of "Art Forum Berlin" - an international art show featuring leading galleries from the world's most important art centers. 


Tons of artists, from all over the world, come to this event to showcase their work to potential buyers, as well as partake in the many art talks that that occur throughout the weekend. We saw everything from your typical painting to crazy things like everyday objects set up to create music. It was pretty awesome to just see what everyone had created and what their take on "art" is.


Anyways, here are some pictures I took of the different exhibits:
