In this project, three groups of artists occupy a part of the residence of freelance curators, Barbara Buchmaier and Jin Lie, as an exhibition space.

The first exhibition is a collaboration by Canadian artist Hayes-Chute and Brent Wadden. In the second exhibition, the works of Kei Takemura and Yoshiaki Kaihatsu are shown.
The photo above is a performance by Kei Takemura. He cut out the face of Ms. Buchmaier from his painting and served coffee while wearing a mask. The third group is scheduled to exhibit on May 14th.

Finally, the photo below shows a sight from Auguststrasse, a street designated for the Berlin Biennale.

It's the magic of the Berlin Biennale that sparks such a playfulness.
