Recommended Galleries in Berlin

I just got back from a week in wonderful Berlin, and figured I should share with you the names of some brilliant galleries I visited there.

First off I will have to mention Kunsthaus Tacheles. This “Art House” is situated in a derelict former ware house in former East Berlin.
The building has been occupied by artists, punks, homeless and so on for many years and is full of ateliers, galleries and art of all kinds, both in the many levels of the building itself but also in the quite large back yard. Definitely a must to visit, and also a good place to buy some cheap art prints or paintings to bring with you back home.

You Took My Name

Fascinating project from the people over at Dorothy.

They sum it up like this:

We’re working on a series of paintings that strip famous logos back to their basic graphic forms. Creating pieces that we think are artworks in their own right. Recognise any?

Digital Fonts: 23 New Faces in MoMA’s Collection

MoMA has just acquired 23 digital typefaces for its Architecture and Design Collection. Some are of everyday use, like Verdana; others are familiar characters in our world, like Gotham, which was used in President Obama’s election campaign, or OCR-A, which we can find at the bottom of any product’s bar code; and others are still less common, but exquisitely resonant, like Walker or Template Gothic.
