The last show of the one-year project that is MMX. Show VII offers the tasty and interactive work of Risa Puno with her kunst vending machine and “Magic Eye” auto stereogram wall works. James Bullough takes the challenge of transforming the bar space of MMX while Juan Arata paints the underbelly creatures of Berlin’s nightlife. Geoffrey Garrison brings his new video installation piece that questions the space and time around a gilded frame. Screening program VII deals with the theme “the end is just the beginning”, appropriately fitting for MMX’s history. Fresh from Winnipeg, Lancelot Coar and Patrick Harrop take over the front of the house.

Valentin Hartweck’s installation will entrap the viewer as they head towards BitteBitteJaJa (collaborative video works by Ulu Braun and Roland Rauschmeier). The UV light installation by Jeongmoon Choi finishes the show with an atmospheric and labyrinthian end.
Tacos Berlin will be serving up yummy Mexican food once again at the Vernissage. Nothing less than a stellar last show with weekly performances by Argentinian artist Martin Molinaro.

BLUE IN THE FACE, Berlin’s local avant-garde sonic stalwarts, blend elements borrowed from Jazz, Blues, Rock and Industrial to create a sophisticated, visceral sound that oscillates from Noise to Pop and ultimately leaves
you slack-jawed in its sedative weirdness.

TRIKE is an Electro-Aerobic-Disco-Art-Trash duo from Canada.

Made up of Stephen Taylor (keyboard, vocals) and Xania Keane (violin, tap-dancing, glockenspiel), this band is most happy on stage. Their live show features costume changes, dance instructions and spanking.

In the past two years, Trike has played hundreds of shows across 16 European countries, landed a small record deal, a Yamaha-sponsorship, won $20,000 on television/radio contest ‘The Gong Show’ and had their ‘New Album’ hit number 6 on Canadian radio.

Trike is currently working on a new album with Cheap Satanism Records, that will be released in April.

Friday night. A bar made of concrete and comfort. A place to live the good times and the bad. To silently stare into a glass of Vodka, Bukowski-style/ to casually laugh at the meaninglessness of it all/ or to enjoy the weekend’s first round with the crowd: That’s

THE TRAGIC TURNS OF LIFE Bar
with Christoph & Philip

Your barkeepers will have kind words and drinks for everyone, music, strange visuals, art. Tragic Turns Of Life – that’s what we live on in our beloved/ bewildered Berlin. But by the bar, there’s our friends to prove that all will be good.

In the center of Berlin’s commercial art scene, MMX is a unique international forum for the advancement of new art. A not for profit venue that is committed to fostering innovative ways of generating, exhibiting, supporting and experiencing contemporary art. Influenced by seasonal and social consciousness, MMX aims to offer the Berlin art community a different approach.

It starts with a New Year`s pre opening and the Grand Opening on january 29th. More to come!
