bb11 - random Berlin, conscious Biennale

 I mentioned already that I don't often go to temporary exhibitions when I'm on holiday. Because of two very simple reasons:  - I do wanna see the important/touristy stuff in a city in which I've never been to (I know lame, and not hip at all) - and I'm usually with other people, who are not as enthusiastic about contemp art as I am These two need compromising on what to see, what to squeeze in the limited time given in a place. Berlin is definitely an exception: first of all because I'm going to go back. Second: because Berling offers so much stuff to do that  I don't even feel the FOMO anymore... it's simply impossible to see and do even the most basic things stuffed in a long weekend. Therefore I chose to go to the biennale to the Gropius Bau. One of the four locations recommended by the local friend whos said that the building itself worth a visit. Win-win I get to see the biennale, they get to see something interesting, and a tourist point is ticked off
