BERLinvasion: Icelandic Art

24. September - 6. October 2005

[update: 20.9.2005]

Berlin, one of the hottest spots of the artworld, will be the stage for a lot of activities of the young Icelandic art scene this fall. The venues for exhibitions, performances and concerts will be mainly BERLINER LISTE, ART FORUM and BERLINER KUNSTSALON.
In the center of BERLinvasion stand the activities of KlinK & BanK, a multi artistic studio space of 140 extraordinary artists. Klink & BanK in recent years hosted several guest projects e.g. Jason Rhoades & Paul McCarthys' “Sheep Plug” and lately the “Animatograph” of Christoph Schlingensief. The KlinK & BanK – invasion will be in the KlinK & BanK spirit -spontaneous and dynamic.
