West Berlin Gallery proudly presents NORBERT REISSIG’S first solo show “It’s a Happening Thing” from September 9th to September 24th 2010 at the West Berlin Gallery.

The exhibition will feature unreleased works from the past years and thematically deals with the decade of the 1960s, an epoque marked by social upheaval, misty-eyed romantic and strong contradictions. The artist visually approaches this legendary decade, aiming to interpret it from a contemporary point of view, asking the question if there is any countermovement in our society today.

Reissig has developed a distinctive style implementing playful as well as formal graphic elements in his works, showing depth and reflectiveness in his subject matter. When asked how he would describe his work without using the actual term “art” he refers to it as “NonHippiePsychedelia”.

You’re warmly invited on Thursday the 9th of September from 7pm onwards to the opening of NORBERT REISSIG’S show “It’s a Happening Thing”. The evening will be completed with music and drinks to make it a date. Read more

As a nice kick-off for Berlin fashion week, which is taking over the city this week with lots of trade shows, events and runway presentations, we celebrated the opening for ‘SOB – Streets of Berlin’, which was realized in cooperation with international tradeshow for Jeans- and Sportswear Brands JAM Berlin. The crowd (and we too ;)), looking forward to a bustling week, really enjoyed the nice and friendly atmosphere, good music by VKMP3 and especially the open bar – great support again by Beck’s Gold, Bacardi and 42Below!!
