I posted earlier this week about Project 35, a screen series of video art co-presented by one of the most plugged-in and informative art blogs in the city run by Monica Salazar, Berlin Art Link and friends. Here’s a selection from this weekend’s screening in Berlin — video art that leaves out the snore factor. Herehighlights from a memorable screening held in a top-floor studio in Kreuzberg, yummy gummy bears, talking penises, and more.

Theo Ligthart
I first came to know Berlin artist Theo Ligthart, who hails from the Netherlands, when I spoke at Pecha Kucha Berlin and learned he was one of the organizers (listen to the podcast version here). One of Theo’s projects is Das Korn, a type of lowbrow booze he has come to redefine as posh, and back on the market.
These photos are from a recent dinner party co-hosted by Ligthart, a north German dining tradition called Grünkohl, where kale, Pinkel sausage, smoked pork, potatoes, beer and Korn is served to warm you up in the midst of chilly winter. It was held at the Schau Fenster — a former car showroom-cum-exhibition space spearheaded by Yaneq from the legendary Party Arty series. What can I say? I love my German sausage.
Eva Teppe is a Berlin-based artist who just started a band called 3 on 4 with co-partners Jiga and Masumi. They all sing in Japanese and their first single is called Hey Yoko Ono. This is the music video for it — smart, from the art scene, they’re all visually prepared to shock, as well as rock (in the electro Berlin way we know it). Can we all Tweet Ono and tell her about the song? It’s so fucking rad. Fan them here.
