In Berlin, no gallery opening is complete without an endless supply of German beer. So it seemed only a matter of time before an institution went straight to the source and opened inside a brewery.
The Kindl Centre for Contemporary Art, housed in the former Kindl brewery, has open fully after a four-year restoration. Located in Berlin’s trendy Neukölln district, the 5,500-sq.-m art complex has been unveiled to the public in stages since the Swiss-German collector couple Burkhard Varnholt and Salome Grisard acquired it in 2011.
A group show featuring works by artists including Jeppe Hein, Michael Rakowitz and Philip Akkerman inaugurates the new three-storey Power House building (How Long Is Now?, 23 October-19 February 2017). The couple are not showing any works from their own collection.
