Savvy Contemporary

SAVVY CONTEMPORARY – the laboratory of form ideas is a new, ambitious art space in Berlin aimed at fostering the dialogue between “western art” and “non-western art”.

ARTS:
Every two months, SAVVY CONTEMPORARY will present an exhibition in its gallery space aimed at fostering the dialogue between “western art” and “non-western art”. In this light, a curator will be invited by SAVVY’s art direction to further invite an artist from Europe or North-America and another artist from Africa, South-America, Asia or Australia. This trialogue will be moderated by the invited curator. The process of the trialogue and its result will culminate in an exhibition and a publication to the exhibition.

EVENTS:

Performance Art:
SAVVY Contemporary will anchor, on a monthly basis, a performance art show. Performance artists from the fields of theater, contemporary dance, synthesis, etc will have the possibilities of experimenting, reminiscent on Marinetti’s concept of performance art in the premises of the SAVVY Contemporary.

Cooking Performances:
SAVVY Contemporary will host a monthly cooking performance for a limited clientele. The kitchen will offer three-course menus from different countries and continents.

Music Performances:
Music performances are the backbone of the SAVVY Contemporary. Experimental Jazz, Modern Classic, Improvisations are just a few points of interests.

Cine Club:
The Cine Club at SAVVY will present selected movies and documentaries. Jewels of movie history and rare films will be shown on two dates every two months.
