Opening: 24.04.2018 from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

It’s that time again! As Lydia Karstadt, who has curated Crystal Ball since 2016, recently remarked, “Fuck the White Cube!”
The art center Crystal Ball is transforming itself again and again into a café? But why? Because Crystal Ball has something that other cafés don’t have! Real, real, old cups that you can take away as a “to go” and gentrification-free coffee! There are performances by Caren Sielaff, Lydia, Rias, the soundtrack by DJ Catastrophé and Steffi on the floor and at the coffee machine. There are also pictures on the walls. One could almost think there is a concept behind it.

Our temporary “Star Up Company” runs for one afternoon until the evening. If you want, bring a cake to the disco. The exhibition shows first results of the Collage-Garage Workshop as well as works by: Caren Sielaff, Mini Mo, Carola Humboldt, Tamara Trölsch and Natascha Frioud.

Ersatzcafé Unst – We are the decoration for your life !
Opening on Sat. 1. June 2014 at 3 p.m.

At the same time as three new cafés open in Schönleinstraße, we are opening another café. The 51st in the Gräfekiez. Yeah!

Under the motto: “Whatever you want”, the replacement café Unst offers delicious freeze-dried coffee and wonderful confectionary simplicity and is clearly avant-garde because art will get the boot!

While the global power consumption is increasing gigantically (55 million new individualistic photos every day at instagram! ) and huge storage cities are being created for this, we are only running one kettle. Photography and phone calls are prohibited! Not on facebook, twitter, instagram & Co!tagram & Co!

Many artists from the neighborhood are working on it: It is the decoration of your life! Come in and get out!
