TKH: white cube or white elephant?
After a short and chaotic life, Berlin’s TEMPORÄRE KUNSTHALLE died of natural causes on August 31. We assess the TKH’s ephemeral existence… and its legacy.
It's ridiculously easy to over-do the mid-week socialising, so let’s start with the less strenuous goings-on in Berlin... and by less strenuous I mean the kind of event that will have you home before your local Bäckerei reopens.

The reunification of Germany was basically the rape of the GDR by the FRG. We all know that. But how far can we extend the metaphor? Very. A new study is claiming the West German press took a deeply sexual view of East German women.

There was a a roaring atmosphere in Köpenick this weekend as 1.FC Union hosted spVgg Greuther Fürth in the first home game of the season - old friends met again and showed off their suntans and brand new Torsten Mattuschka pencil cases, the new shirts box-fresh and resplendant in a way that you know will not last.

Life. What a load of crap, huh. Even when everything's okay, it's still pretty shitty. Even when everything's okay, you still have to do the washing-up and take the rubbish down. We need something to numb the pain, says Jacinta Nandi - and if drugs are not the answer, then DVDs will have to be.

Berlin’s one and only forum for “world music” – an expletive that doesn’t do justice to the city's vibrant local music scene – is back, under a slightly different name. Hello, Radio Multicult!

ON NOW! MMX is going art-mad this month, with 44 artists/performers. It's a sort of revolving door policy: one artist leaves each week, but only after curating a replacement show.

With his unorthodox childhood and politicised works, Lemi Ponifasio is not your average dancer. He doesn't have a troupe: he has a "community".

Tuğra sounded intriguing: Turkish on Ku’damm. But how fragile the restaurant's facade of civility proved to be... Still, there are delights to be eaten elsewhere - at Balikci Ergün.

IN PICTURES: Berlin’s first major Nauman retrospective explores his “experience architecture”: corridors and rooms that create the impression of incarceration.
