We’ve got our Berlin Fashion Week guide, Transmediale festival, David Lynch at Pace Gallery and much more!

Transmediale is back this week, in collaboration with the ongoing CTM Festival. It's the 39th edition of the festival and this year's theme is "By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road". Check the website for the full program, but the Silent Green opening night and CANK Berlin events look very promising.

Pace Berlin presents David Lynch starting this Thursday. This special exhibition will showcase Lynch's paintings, sculptures, watercolors, early short films, and photographs It features never-before-seen works and even includes some of Lynch's photos of Berlin.

PAN presents a new film by Afsah exploring Paneurhythmy, a spiritual movement founded in early 20th-century Bulgaria. Each August, practitioners dressed in white gather in the Rila Mountains to perform synchronized dances that seek harmony between humans and nature. Moving above, around, and within the group, Afsah’s camera draws us into the ritual’s hypnotic rhythms. The exhibition is completed by a series of site-specific installations that echo the circular cadence of the sun’s daily cycle.

Agnese Menguzzato's The Third Room opens this week with a series of live performances in a deep-listening environment. The series features works by four female artists working on diverse instruments and both analogue and electronic processes, including lute, piano, santoor, and turntables. This is also the first time the sound studio will be open to the public.

As party of the exhibition "Make a travel deep of your inside, and don't forget me to take", artist Charmaine Poh is presenting a talk this Thursday. 'Heavy is the root of light' is a line from the Daoist text, the Dao De Jing. It's symbolic of the seemingly contradicting imagery that the text is centred on. The artist will take the audience through the works and exhibition design from this lens.

Krist Gruijthuijsen and Erik Schmidt give a lecture this week as part of the Kindl exhibition “The Rise and Fall of Erik Schmidt”.

DER BERLINER SALON returns to the Gemäldegalerie during Berlin Fashion Week, presenting a group exhibition of German design that brings contemporary fashion into dialogue with the Old Masters. Open from February 3–22 (opening: February 2), the exhibition showcases a curated selection of 45 designers, with a strong focus on emerging talent.

Titled Gallery Looks, the exhibition spans design, photography, film, and haute couture. Highlights include a fashion shoot by Ralph Mecke created for the Berliner Salon’s 10th anniversary, accompanied by a film by Florian Azar, as well as a connection to Dior’s Summer 2026 show by Jonathan Anderson, whose staging drew inspiration from the Gemäldegalerie itself.

Blending fashion and visual art, the exhibition offers an intimate glimpse into the emerging designers shaping Berlin’s future, while providing new talent with visibility, mentorship, and direct access to the industry.

The program features an immersive performance by Constanza Macras / Dorky Park, where dance, text, live music, and film merge into a high-energy, genre-defying experience. The night is soundtracked by DJ Triš, whose emotionally charged, experimental set moves fluidly between moods—carrying the audience from early evening into night.

The program brings together a curated cross-section of Berlin’s electronic scene alongside live highlights, including an ambient cello performance by Beste Hira and the surreal cabaret Donna The Show, guiding audiences through dreams, visions, and the subconscious.
