Berlin is a city of contrasts.

Museums and memorials bear witness to a turbulent and divided past. Since the fall of the Wall Germany’s capital has transformed itself into one of Europe’s most creative and cultural centres a hip contemporary consciousness infiltrating every aspect of Berlin life.

Tourism is booming. An eclectic abundance of galleries, museums, restaurants, cafés, shops and markets provides a feast for the senses and the mind. Little wonder that almost 12 million visitors have sampled Berlin’s delights in the past year.

Described by long-standing mayor Klaus Wowereit as “poor but sexy”, Berlin’s rapidly gentrifying cobblestone streets find organic supermarkets standing alongside derelict, bullet-ridden, graffiti-covered buildings, and boutique designer showrooms interspersed with communist-era apartment blocks.

Michael Reid Berlin and its Neighbourhood In 2012 Michael Reid noticed that Berlin attracts the poor, the talented and the brave. Counting himself amongst their number he decided that Berlin would be the perfect location for sharing and cultivating a current, contemporary view of Australian art, “beyond a post-colonial lens”.

Michael Reid Galleries staged Murr-ma: Uncovering Aboriginal & Australian Contemporary Art, a major Australian group exhibition, in the Hamburger Bahnhof, a prominent exhibition space behind the museum of contemporary art (Museum für Gegenwart). The show presented the best of contemporary Australian artistic practice - Joseph McGlennon, Marian Drew, Adam Cullen and Deborah Paauwe; and indigenous Papunya Tula artists George Tjungurrayi, Johnny Yungut Tjupurrula and Ronnie Tjampitjinpa.

Shortly afterwards Michael Reid galleries dived further into the Berlin arts scene by presenting key Australian works at Preview Berlin Art Fair.

The positive reception that greeted these two exhibitions led to the 2013 establishment of Michael Reid Berlin in Ackerstraße on the ground floor of an 1870s building that, miraculously, had survived.

Ackerstraße lies in the central district of Mitte, home to significant landmarks such as the city Town Hall, Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral and Fernsehturm (Television Tower). For 28 years, from 1961-1989, Ackerstraße was divided by the Wall. Today, at its corner with Bernauer Straße, a preserved portion of “no man’s land” forms the outdoor Berlin Wall Memorial (Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer), a tourist hot spot offering a pervasive reminder of the once divided city.

Also within short walking distance of the gallery is the Protestant cemetery, Friedhof II der Sophiengemeinde Berlin, commemorating a host of notable composers and artists, singers, philosophers and historians.

Mitte is perhaps best known for its arts and cultural connections. During the 1990s the Kunsthaus Tacheles (now closed), located on nearby Oranienburger Straße, was home to artists’ collectives, studios, workshops and a cinema. Today, tucked away courtyards reveal architectdesigned gallery spaces, and a former Jewish school in Auguststraße houses a multi-level arts precinct. Close by, in a reclaimed factory, the headquarters of the Berlin Biennale headquarters shares premises with KunstWerke Institute for Contemporary Art. Known for its cutting-edge contemporary art exhibitions, KW Institute has collaborated with MoMA PS1, the Venice Biennale and Documenta.

Impressive private contemporary art collections - Sammlung Hoffmann and Sammlung Boros (in a converted bunker) can be viewed by appointment and the Me Collectors Room Berlin / Stiftung Olbricht offers an interesting take on the display of private art collections by inviting prestigious art collectors to present their works as part of a rotating exhibition program. Located less than a kilometre away is the Museums Island, home to museums of antiquity, archaeology and art - the Pergamon Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie and Altes Museum and Bode Museum.

Berlin Berlin: hot spot and melting pot. It’s Europe’s worst kept secret. Mere mention of the place seems to send a jolt of electricity through everyone, even those who have never been. ‘Ah, I can’t wait to go there’ is the most typical response I hear, a stark contrast to the Baskerville fog that used to settle in people’s eyes when I previously told them lived in Munich (a beautiful and culturally vibrant town, I should add, unjustly victim to weary clichés of oversized beers and Lederhosen).

Such enthusiasm is not what one would typically expect of a scruffy, disorganised city, for by French or Italian standards Berlin is not a beautiful place, and the modern version thumbs her nose at the olde worlde Prussian order and perfection Berlin once embodied. Yet for all her rough edges and flawed perfection she exudes an undeniable magnetism, drawing you in more than her rivals, in much the same way that the best dressed girl at a party is not necessarily the one most worth talking to.

Some will be attracted to Berlin’s arts and culture, some to her uniquely complex place in history, some to her joyous acceptance of every conceivable genre of weirdness. For others it’s Berlin’s intellectual rigour or the sense of calm and slowness – somewhat surprising in the capital of Europe’s economic motor. Others, many of them budding artists, will be drawn to the fact that Berlin remains remarkably affordable, enabling young people to live in a highly stimulating environment and create works that may or may not (alas, frequently not) be the first important steps towards a significant career.

But it does take a certain type to live and prosper there, for Berlin doesn’t simply offer herself, and it is up to the individual to take the initiative and try to seduce her.

Charlottenburg or along the many waterways, of which One could also say that it holds a special appeal for those there are more in Berlin than in Venice? Do I hit the Anna who do not (yet) crave suburban stability. If you prefer Funder trail and seek out remnants of the East German a predictable environment – one that offers, to quote regime? Or, for a change of pace, I can pack a camera and Radiohead, no alarms and no surprises – Berlin will never creep around the ruins of 19th century sanatoria, Soviet be more than a short term proposition. But for those military bases or GDR factories, for Berlin abounds with who thrive on never quite knowing what might be around overgrown, abandoned places that no one can afford to the corner, who nourish themselves on all the changing rehabilitate or restore. Or perhaps I will simply explore as colours of life, bright or dark, and who understand how yet unfamiliar streets and monotony is the scourge of creativity, districts, where classic Berlin presents opportunities that most “one cannot grow bored in European buildings or other European capitals cannot.

Berlin, for the only limit is hideous socialist ones Perhaps the fascination of Berlin lies in one’s own imagination” look down and muse upon her layers, with the history – inspiring the confluence of cultures and depressing in equal measure – leaping or lurking on from all corners of the globe. Along the way I might pause every corner. This was a town turned on its head by a in an elegant, high-ceilinged café, where the ghosts still succession of crazed ideologies and where two worlds blush from their 1920s excesses, before visiting some of quite literally collided for decades, which means that the city’s hundreds of galleries; one cannot grow bored years, perhaps even a lifetime are required before one in Berlin, for the only limit is one’s own imagination. can understand the ebbs and flows. As much as I love The one thing I probably won’t do is have a plate of Sydney, Melbourne and the outback, you can’t find that Currywurst mit Pommes (sausage with curry sauce and there. chips), Berlin’s riposte to the pie floater and a strangely vital cog in the city’s economy.

Indeed each time you begin to feel you have a handle on the place, something new will reveal itself. Berlin is Ultimately everyone has their own Berlin. Mine is just one constantly in flux, always experimenting, always building, of 3.5 million approaches to the place. Berlin may be 800 rebuilding and reinventing herself. It borders on the years old, but she remains a work in progress and her miraculous, yet it is easy to take for granted the fact that reincarnations make her impossible to define. But whether Berlin has emerged as one of the world’s most tolerant you’re a tourist, expat or home-grown Berliner, Berlin will and progressive cities after a seeming age of darkness. always reward those who have the nerve to cross the room If I have a free day, I am spoilt for choice.

Art Berlin’s contemporary art scene is like no other. A magnet for art lovers, the city has an aesthetic framed by Bauhaus design and informed by German expressionism. Berlin’s tolerant disposition and incredible creative energy, combined with low cost of living and abundance of space, lures creatives and art dealers from around the world.

There are more than 400 galleries in Berlin - from artist-run studios and independent exhibitions spaces to slick, elite white cube galleries and fortress-like private art collections.

The peak times for the international art world glitterati to travel to Berlin centre around the annual Gallery Weekend Berlin in May gallery-weekendberlin.de and Berlin Art Week every September [berlinartweek.de].

Berlin Hohenschönhausen Prison Memorial Genslerstraße 66, 13055 Berlin In the suburb of Hohenschönhausen, along an inconspicuous side street just east of the Ringbahn, lies a vast complex whose intimidating exterior walls of concrete and barbed wire herald one of the most infamous prisons of the GDR. Often called simply ‘the Stasi prison’, it became both a brutal symbol of repression and a state-run secret right in the heart of the city. Political dissidents and other ‘troublemakers’ were brought in vehicles disguised as ordinary delivery vans to be ‘corrected’ - a euphemism for psychological torture and ritual humiliation. Tours of the Memorial can only be taken as part of a group, usually led by former inmates who provide first-hand details on prison conditions and the interrogation methods employed by the Stasi.
