We’ve got our Berlinale guide, 4D sound at Monom, free döner, a Valentine’s Day for the heartbroken & much more!

Explore the Matt Mulican's new exhibition "ABOVE AND BELOW THE THREE WORLDS", opening this Friday at the Potsdamder Str location of Galerie Thomas Schulte. The exhibition focuses on a series of works on paper, rubbings, video and sculptural objects. The simple geometric forms and use of primary colors seems simple at first glance, but gives way to a multi-layered meaning of public and personal space.

Starting this Friday, explore the interplay between artificial intelligence (AI) and art. “Glitch in a Garden of Whispers” is an exhibition in the style of a garden, exploring the idea of a seed being planted.

February 14th is not only Valentine's Day. It's also World Sound Healing Day, and you can celebrate the event at Monom with a release party for the visionary album ‘Quantum Sound’. The event has two parts. The first opens with a 60 minute holographic listening experience and some live tracks. The second features a listening session of ‘Jon Hopkins – Embodiment Breathing’ (with Fearne Cotton). The perfect date for the audiophile in your life!
