tacheles >> the headless warrior of independent art

Berlin, one of the most innovative intersection point for the hearth of Europe have an independent art space, Tacheles,  in the center of Berlin (oranienburger str.54-56a).

A place having an history of being a shopping mall and storage of weapons, where transformed to a meeting place  for independent art in 1990s with the fall of the wall.





Tacheles is not an art place not like the ones' having plane steril white walls and commercially infected art inside. The walls are almost all decorated by various street arts and the rooms are shared by independent artists selling their art and prints.





A place not smelling parfum but honest pee and thinner. You can find a person making live mixing or working on one floor/room... or have a beer in its alternative bar.

The backside of the building Tacheles has a sculpture area with stage for live performances, to reach the place is hardened by the locals? in a way, but you can reach from the parking area if you follow the steps written..

Tacheles needs our supports and solidarity to stay alive as one of the fewest honest art place left.. Tacheles is under a risk by the greedy eyes of the capital around..
