THERAPY THROUGH ALTER EGOS
The artist who contributed the Czech half of this year’s “Czecho-Slovakian” Pavilion — the first ever conceived as a mutual concept, for a country that has not existed since 1992 — is now bringing his first solo exhibition to Berlin, or as he calls it: “the capital of dark nostalgia”.

WHERE CLASS, POWER AND ABSURDITY COLLIDE
In Subterraneans, Czech artist Jakub Jansa brings his surreal world of human-vegetable hybrids to Berlin for his first solo exhibition in the city, curated by Anya Harrison. Between absurdity and political unrest, Jansa turns class, identity and social hierarchies into a world of his own.

WEEKEND MUSIC TIP PT 108 PARIS PALOMA
Paris Paloma only went public with her music six years ago – and quickly achieved immense success. It took little more than her song “Labour” for TikTok and the world to know her.
