Why does Jonathan Monk think it’s good that there is not a big base of collectors in Berlin and would the collector, Albrecht Kastein, agree? What is Monk’s connection to the bookshop of Barbara Wien and why is the Kupferstichkabinett “like paradise” for Kastein?  But ultimately: What is the biggest problem if you’re following an artist and a collector around their home turf for a while? – It’s the length of the movie.

 

The “Art Expedition” is a series of short videos, featuring a collector of contemporary art and an artist who present to each other some of their favourite art locations. As you might have expected, it’s not easy to keep it short enough for an online audience if you don’t want to lose too much of the substance.

 

We have condensed half a day of detailed conversation and visits to four interesting and sometimes very surprising locations into a mere six minutes. We’re happy to be able to present this little gem and hope you’ll enjoy this glimpse into “contemporary art Berlin”.
