The Tacheles

// April 20th, 2006 // Art, Music & Poetry

On Oranienburger Strasse in Berlin there is an apartment building called the Kunst Haus Tacheles – or simply “the Tacheles“. Since the fall of the wall the Tacheles has been occupied by artists, performers and musicians who create and exhibit there. The structure of the building has been damaged by shelling in the war and fire and dereliction since; anywhere else in Germany it would have already been demolished and replaced. More interesting than the art on display were the surfaces and spaces of the building itself. Monika and I took the series of photos below to capture the feeling of this Berlin icon.

    heya Dhruv,
    yeah, it was the great blogless blog for a while- but I feel I’m coming back into some blogging times. Hopefully the new post gives a decent “why berlin” response.
    Peace
