Playground is a collective of international artists that wish to provide space and time for art collaboration, creation and sharing. Crossing medias and information it aims to create an extravaganza of experience in a mutant space that helps giving visibility to the young independent contemporary world-wide art scene.

Playground Berlin offers an unique experience, integrating art, culture, music, sensuality, technology and ecology; working with a cross-national, cross-ethnic, cross-cultural, cross-sexual Epicurean Utopian vision.

Kunstraum Richard Sorge

Art space Kunstraum Richard Sorge, located in the East-Berlin Friedrichshain district, is named after the communist spy (Ian Fleming's model for James Bond) that reputedly saved the Western world from Nazism. From its bountiful space situated in a romantically crumbling historic Berlin brewery that hosts many art spaces, Kunstraum Richard Sorge reaches a young, and international audience, but adventurous discerning art lovers as well.

Its exhibitions focus on confrontational crafts, club/vj/kinetic art, GLBTQ art and subcultures. Like its namesake, the initiative independently works from a marginal, yet cosmopolitan position to ultimately save the world.

La Crèche is an artistic and curatorial collaboration between Playground Berlin and Kunstraum Richard Sorge staring at the 7th Berliner Kunstsalon Art Fair, October 5-10, 2010.

It is a favela-style pavilion for experiencing art, as well as a playful architectural art installation in itself. Our aim is to show art in a collaborative environment rather than the white cube. La Crèche is built solely from discarded recycled materials. Irregular and surreal, it hosts 2D and 3D works as well as video, performance and installations that integrate organically into its structure.

Samuel Haas, Ricardo Ferreira, Steven Thelen, Anna Kostreva, Elena Gilbert.
