“The Future of flea-market mixed with highest fashion, lifestyle, surface and emerging producers.”
Until now I thought the future of flea-market was eBay and that it had arrived a decade ago. The presence of flea-markets I can observe every Sunday near my house at Mauerpark / Bernauer Straße in Berlin. Seeing the masses gathering there I sometimes wonder if they haven’t heard of eBay. Of course the flea-market at Mauerpark is so successful, because it’s also mixed with lifestyle and a bit of fashion.
International Festival, a very cool crew from Stockholm organizes My Market at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and they promise an eruption of economical exchange, merchandising, bargaining and a celebration of market forces.
Unfortunately I wont be in Berlin and I will miss it. International Festival’s last gig in Berlin was very good though: A party in a standard Ikea kitchen set up in a large space inside Haus der Kulturen der Welt (which was a construction site at the time and still is to my knowledge) with music from a portable radios and pizza delivery.
