Argentinian artist Ad Minoliti (1980) currently has a second solo show at Peres Projects in Berlin. Entitled GG –galáctica gatoteca–, is simultaneously an interactive exhibition, a site-specific installation, and a collective happening. Minoliti takes cues from the café-concert and cat cafés meant for adoption, converting the gallery into a warm space open to all, and interestingly, to the queer and trans youth of the German capital in particular. The show presents paintings, sculptures, murals, and carpets, incorporates a coffee corner, a library including Argentinian fanzines and comics, and live events, thus transforming the exhibition space into Minoliti’s own fantasyland where the public is welcome to hang around (on through Feb 10). On the occasion of the show, the artist, along with MIKEY. Woodbridge, Ludmila Rosenzweig, Cibelle Cavalli Bastos and Elin McReady, stage the Coffee Break event, a string of gigs on Sat – Feb 4 (4pm-6pm) at the gallery space.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
