In quest of an answer to “What is furniture?”, Studio Vraay developed a family of electric heaters that is blurring the boundaries between object, sculpture and furniture. What you see is what you get - but definately something nice and hot!

The exhibition shows new acquisitions made by the Berlinsche Galerie in dialogue with works from the contemporary collection „Kunst im Bau“ (Art in Architecture) belonging to the GASAG (Berlin gas company).
„Berlin Transfer“ shows 80 works by more than 50 artists working in Berlin creating a panorama of contemporary positions in painting, photography, graphic art an illustration. In each case, one artwork from the collections of the Berlinische Galerie enters into a dialogue with one from the GASAG collection: students come face to face with their teachers, separate works by one artist are reunited, an comparable artistic positions or types are brought together in a pretty surprising way.
A must see for all addicts of contemporary art.
Until May 24th 2010
Berlinische Galerie

A new sitting experience: The stool “Barbapoef” by Maarten Collignon shows a very nice material composition and looks like a lot of fun too! The big balloon can be inflated via air input and nestles against your body while sitting. Images below show what you can do as well - for example play hide and seek;):
