Gallery hopping in Berlin

I am in Berlin. Last night I was 'gallery hopping' with two old friends from Copenhagen, both are artists. UC is a painter and multimedia artist, who is currently preparing to shoot the new Trentemöller video in Moscow. SF is an actor and director, who is currently seen in a television ad as a chocolate turtle! (SF is a Berlin debutante and brought his father, who is 80 (sic!) and really cool - especially when he smokes his pipe upside down and asks where the drinks and the ladies are).

First stop was BEAT GALERIE, owned by Francois (who I thought was Francoise and an attractive lady, I was gonna check out along with the art) and another German fella named Markus. It was a two-man show featuring some nice pencil works and a video installation, which we watched in a black leather sofa, while drinking Beck's Gold. [Thanks for the tip, Peter Lind].

Next up was an ARTNEWS PROJECT made by the Danish gallery Mogadishni. Lots of danes there including Julie Nord on the walls and Randi & Katrine on the floor. There were several openings in the area, and we popped around a bit. It was very eightie'ish, we thought, but we quite enjoyed ourselves strolling around in the Mitte art district.
