Minimum Success is the new Finnish/Berlin techno label. Their first release feat. six lost gabber techno tunes produced in Finland in the mid 90ties by Amalgam 5 (Klas-Henrik Lindblad & Markus Irwin Berg). Song titles give a good impression of the music 🙂 We’ve designed a typeface, did the label logo and a wild series of cover designs – watch out for next releases…

A series of monthly events for a new quality of togetherness and future perspectives about the sustainable transformation of our cities.
It has been known for a long time that architecture, the building industry and urban planning have a considerable share in our current climate misery. Yet those responsible have often declared themselves not responsible and shifted the demands for less energy consumption and emissions or more greening and climate-friendly building materials back and forth: sometimes it was not financially feasible, sometimes it was not practically feasible, sometimes it was simply not desired. In this way, we have all lost valuable time, so that not only the impatience of the urban society has increased, but also the factual urgency. Because yes, we must finally act and correct course. We need a sustainable transformation of our built environment. Together with experts from design, the real estate industry, urban development politics and everyone interested in an ecological transformation of our built environment, we want to discuss how a real building turnaround can succeed.
At the launch event on 18 April 2023, our guests were New European Bauhaus and the Bauhaus of the Earth. What are their goals for a sustainable building sector and how do they want to achieve them?
Turnaround is conceived and initiated by the Architektursalon Berlin: Sebastian Bissinger & Laure Boer (BANK™), Jason Danziger (thinkbuild), Erhard An-He Kinzelbach (KNOWSPACE), Sven Sappelt (CLB Berlin), Martin Schmitt (Martin Schmitt Architektur).

Site specific exhibition of Birthe Blauth in the Church St Elisabeth on the occasion of the documenta fifteen, Kassel 2022. Duration 4 months.
The pearl-imagery and the green colorway break down the site specific artwork itself to its bare essence. The inner space of the whole church is covered with artificial meadow, a hi-tech kind of astro turf. In the middle there is a big bowl containing 100,000 real pearls. Topic is the paradise as a state of absolute perfection.

The paintings of the Berlin artist Reinhard Pods are gestural abstract; layers of paint in intense colors, scribbled lines smeared into streaks, enigmatic graffiti writings and deformed bodies in large format are staggered against dense spaces. The catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition R. Pods Bilder 1976–2021 with a text by the Swiss curator Gianni Jetzer. The special feature of the catalogue is a fold-out leporello which presents Pods painting from 1976 to 2021.

Vast Land by Wolfgang Bellwinkel is a photographic study of the last three capitals of Myanmar: Mandalay (1857–1885), Yangon (1885–2005) and Naypyitaw (since 2005). Bellwinkel’s photographs tell the story of a country in which one tragedy has followed another since the mid 19th century: colonial appropriation, world and civil wars, natural disasters, military dictatorship, ethnic conflicts, expulsions. In contrast to the drama and density of the events, Bellwinkel’s images are sober and precise photographs with which he exposes the character and the different layers of time of the three cities. Complementing the photographs, the 20-page essay by sociologist Heinz Schütte provides an in-depth look at the history and present of the featured cities.
