Since the fall of the Berlin wall prosperity has boosted the city’s art and cultural scenes, and making Berlin one the world’s new art capitals. Likewise, because L.A. has been able to offer abundantly what New York cannot -artistic space- Los Angeles has been heralded as another future capital of the art world.

Which Way Berlin or L.A.? curator Doro Hofmann brings new voices from the Berlin art scene to L.A. This exhibit invites local L.A. Artists as well as the interested culturati to open up a community-wide discussion comparing and contrasting the work emerging from these two new art centers and posing the question of which way the art world is migrating—toward the more conceptual socio-political art represented by Berlin or the more painting centric pop-culture work that seems to dominate the L.A. art scene? Which Way Berlin or L.A.? further invites the German and American communities to celebrate together the cultural achievements of Berlin and Los Angeles.
