Spurred by a story in the Post (for which I have no link because you have to register), Andrew writes about the cottage creativity industry in Berlin. Things are looking dreary.
A quibble: The original article misrepresents the Kulturbrauerei which, to my mind, has long since ceased to be very interesting (though we did see a Trail of Dead show there). Not that the MiniMal isn't a nice grocery store, but the bug-themed restaurant SODA is sort of limited in scope, the movie theatre shows (gasp) mainstream movies, and there's a Bavarian-esque restaurant that just doesn't jive with the P-berg flava. This is no arty, rad social space. Or has the Bavarian placed closed?

On the whole, the article struck me as kind of naive about the whole thing though in a sort of sweet way. "An artist splashes paint onto a canvas in an Internet-wired studio..." Ooh, art and the internet.
