For six days there will be six shows in Linienstrasse 127 presenting Berlin based artists whose working-processes can be aligned with six different media. Every evening there will be a new opening and every evening another medium will be presented. On the 26th of January the exhibition will start with Photography, followed by Film/Video, Drawing, Sculpture/Installation, Painting and will close with Sound/Performance on the 31st of January. The potential for dialogue within each medium will act as an interdisciplinary transmitter. The individual medium is understood as a highly affine language, in which an idea can be intrinsically realized, and not only as a formal category. >SIX DAYS OF NEW MEDIA< wants to set off the potential boundlessness of the conscious debate, against the schematization of the artistic practice and let them compete openly against each other. Through the quick change of the respective exhibitions, each will only be installed for one evening, the overall dialogue, which each artistic practice engages in with its environment of production and participants, will be highlighted.

The gallery ›Camera Work‹ presents works from highly acclaimed photographer Andreas Mühe. F.C. Gundlach is a firm supporter of Mühe’s extraordinary consistency and praises his quick rise to becoming a world class photographer. The individuality of his subjects shines through in his photographs due to the carefully planned interplay of light and the often overwhelming landscapes and architecture Mühe selects for his muses. His photographs can be described as romantic, mystical, occasionally hard-hitting and burying a deep secret – with an intimacy and honesty like no other. The exhibition runs from January 23rd – March 6th. Fire is the theme of another exhibition from ten internationally renowned photographers: Peter Brüchmann, Friedhelm von Estorff, Thomas Erhart, Andy Kainia, Peter Lorenz, Sheryl Nields, Petra Niemeyer, Gerrit starczewsky, Donata Wenders and Günter Zint. Fire conjures up burning passion and red hot emotion and has been a beloved subject of photographers the world over. The exhibition connects the swinging sixties in London with today’s fiery underground scene. Location: >Seven Star Gallery<. The opening is tonight!

Helle Mardahl is a Danish artist of epic proportions. Her way of combining opulent materials and structures from haute couture and graphic design has made her into one of the most acclaimed Scandinavian talents in fashion, art and design. Mardahl’s avant-garde style and ability to blur reality and fantasy are a reflection of her eclectic, deeply profound and emotional artistic flair. Her current solo exhibition “Stage Power” runs from January 20th – March 6th at >Circleculture Gallery< and consists of a series of individual works made from various materials and techniques that come together to produce one coherent installation.

Be prepared to jet off to the moon and while away an afternoon among the stars. Artistic creations inspired by stargazing, eclectic supernovas and other such outer space wonders by students from the international fashion school >ESMOD< in Berlin, will be available to view at the Atrium of Deutsche Bank at “Unter den Linden” (22nd - 24th January, 10-6 p.m.). >AMD<’s Fashion Design students will be presenting their work on the topic “Experimental Fabric Development // Blouses” and >BEST SABEL<’s design school students will be displaying clothes made from hand-woven Malian organic cotton from their project “Eco Fashion” – celebrating an intimate connection to our planet’s natural materials. Students, lecturers and stylists at the >UDK< in Berlin have produced a film entitled “4Minutes”. Inspired by the prediction of some fashion experts that film and video will be the future medium to project designer’s latest trends, the film will be shown in the shop window at department store “Galeries Lafayette”.

Berlin Fashion Week is also very excited about new duo – Perret Schaad (designers Johanna Perret and Tutia Schaad) - who are also among the future stars of the fashion scene. Their work is marked by contrasts and contradictions; their creative and playful understanding of beauty and aesthetics dares to break the mould.
