Oona Galerie
Just back from my trip to Berlin, where I attended the opening party for Soho House. While I unfortunately don't have any pictures (house rules prevent any photographs, but let me tell you it's pretty nice - close in style to Shoreditch House, but bigger) I did take a few sneaky shots from the roof, from where the view is spectacular.

There is a large hanging picture of a shark, graffiti-style, in the lobby by Damien Hirst, which he did with a spray can of black ink (it's all about the graffiti in east Berlin; it covers surfaces everywhere).

As well as catching up with my friend Kevin Braddock, the editor of the brilliant Manzine, I managed to check out a few shops on Augustraβe, including Do You Read Me?!, an old-fashioned magazine shop selling every obscure fashion and art title you could hope to see; Oona Gallerie, which was showcasing some eyecatching jewellery, and Konk, which stocks some interesting clothing and accessory brands like Hoyem.

Cool pictures! I like the graffiti and sense of decay and creation that seems to be happening in some of these pictures.

I don't think that graffiti will be there for long- which is why it's important to document it while it is.
ReplyDeletelooks like an amazing place. i would like to go there someday. hope you are well.
