BERLIN - As gentrification seeps into the capital's cracks, topics inevitably turn to the changing face of Berlin. And while boutique shops are opening like pop-up books, and pristine galleries are settling into former grocery stores, Berlin is still home to a vast amount of spaces that recall the good old days - spaces that produce and promote art for the community, without necessarily serving a commercial agenda.
During Art Berlin Contemporary (ABC), under the umbrella of Berlin Art Week, Niche Art & Architecture Tours were offering their specialty: tours of Berlin's hard-to-find, innovative architectural gems and experimental, emerging art spaces. Niche believes that the capital's creative energy can best be explored in its namesake - niches - however unconventional.
