Boy oh boy did we see some art. You'd think we toiled away with a little itinerary skulking from one to the next. I've no idea how we did it all and managed to have a good time and see most of Berlin too:
The Hamburger Bahnhof was a much more conventional big city gallery. Modern art was the main thing on the menu with Warhols and other such gems. Bruce Nauman was on the specials and it was good to see a collection of his work. The best by far was the green light room, very disorientating. You walk down the angled entrance way and have to squeeze your body in at the last minute. Spend a minute or so in the green room, prepare to leave through the narrow hole (big people need not apply i'm afraid) and find that the world has gone purple! A real subtle but interactive piece which is ingeniously simple but amazing, i loved it.
