Join art, design and architecture writer and  MV-B  founder  Milly Burroughs  at  Salon am Moritzplatz  for the first ever  Berlin Art Book Club  event.

From 7:00 p.m., come together with like-minded art and photography lovers for the first of this new series of non-fiction-focused reading and discussion events. Unlike traditional book clubs, you’re not expected to come having already read any of the books and texts we will discuss, as we will explore them together and discuss their themes and narratives as we go.

Simply come with an open mind and sense of creative curiosity and look forward to discovering essential and lesser known writings from a diverse range of voices that have inspired and dissected art and artistic practice throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

For your reading pleasure and discussion during the event, attendees will receive a goodie bag including:

• A hardback copy of new book  Poor Artists ,  written by The White Pube  co-founders Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad,  and generously donated by publisher  Penguin Random House 

• An exclusive  curated reading list of more than 40 art and design-focused books, texts, articles and essays,  as recommended by creative people from around the world

Book your place here.

Attendance is  limited to 20 places , and tickets are priced at  22€ per person , with proceeds to be donated to Berlin-based homeless support charity  Rise Foundation eV  Light refreshments will be provided. Regrettably, Salon am Moritzplatz is not a wheelchair accessible venue.

Rise Foundation eV  supports people living on the streets of Berlin with warm meals and essential amenities. The organization’s volunteers prepare food containers and medical and hygiene kits that get distributed twice a month.

Berlin Art Book Club #1  is the first in a new series of art and photography literature events hosted by artist representation and curation agency and community  MV-B . MV-B founder  Milly Burroughs  is a Berlin-based arts writer and journalist who has spent the last decade contributing to titles including  AnOther ,  Dazed ,  Elephant ,  It’s Nice That ,  Lux ,  Ton ,  AIGA Eye on Design  and is currently Arts Editor of  10 Magazine DE . She also contributed to  The Design Book , published by DK Books in September 2024, and  The ArchDaily Guide to Good Architecture  published by Gestalten in 2022.

This event forms part of  A Currency of Intimacy  — a group exhibition curated by  MV-B , on display at  Salon am Moritzplatz  19th Nov – 1st Dec 2024. The exhibition will explore interpretations of intimacy as the currency artists are forced to trade in order to achieve success.

With warm thanks to  Penguin Random House  for their support in bringing the event to life.
