"East Berlin: Film, Fashion, Fotography"

This exhibit and event series at the normally private National Arts Club celebrates ten artists who work in what was formerly East Berlin. On Sept 25, toast the opening of the art show with a live feed to the Friendly Society gallery in Germany. Four films will screen, including Comrade Couture (Sept 26), about fashion designers who worked in the then-socialist country during the 1980s, and on Oct 1, attend a gallery talk on the different forms of music and art considered "degenerate" by the postwar government. On Sept 27, the space hosts a cabaret party and fashion show, featuring music by swing band Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks and German singer Adrienne Haan (free tickets are required; visit NAC after Sept 18 at 1pm to reserve).
