Mixed Friendly Football @ Mauerpark - Lousy & Lazy
Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Then Lousy & Lazy Football is the right thing for you!
We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.
Note: We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions. To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/).
Lousy & Lazy rules:
1. **Don’t be competitive - fun only! Enjoy the workout, nice people, wonderful weather and magic ball moments**
2. **No emotional shouting, no telling other players where to go and what to do**
3. **No hard tackling/sliding**
4. **Avoid injuring yourself and other players at all costs: Tight situation? Give up the ball rather them going all in**
5. **Support less fit and less skilled players by giving them the time and space to play the ball, don't intercept passes to and from them. Bonus points: Make them shine!**
6. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on one player is fine)**
7. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.**
8. **Rotate the goalkeeper**
9. **Be a teamplayer**
10. **Come regularly and be reliable with your RSVPs**

Wet-on-Wet Watercolor:
A 2 hour Inner Exploration
Inner Landscape is an art experience that invites you to partecipate actively in your own inner exploration through image-making.
You Inner World- feelings, thoughts, images and ideas- is the primary material.
We do not create art to make it beautiful . We create art to discover something true.
This is a form of dynamic therapy, requiring one to partecipate in one’s own treatment- as a creator , an Inner Guide. Through the wet-on wet watercolour technique, we work with the paradox of control and surrender: you place water on the paper, and then the paint moves where it will.
In this place between intention and accident , something honest often appears . It is messy, playfull and real.
No artist experience is required, come as you are:).
Important Logistics:
Please confirm your partecipation, small group.
25 euro pro Person.
All materials are provided

Public Image, Reputation & Audience for Artists
Berlin-based art curator and educator Jenia Yanes invites emerging and mid-career artists to two transformative workshops designed for the realities of the 2026 art world.
Kunstraum Heartspace is pleased to invite you to the next pair of workshops with curator Jenia Yanes. This new series is dedicated to the external architecture of an artistic practice: the first workshop (on June 14) focuses on collector circles and long-term relationships, the second (on June 21) on image, reputation, audience, and public communication.
## 21.06.2026 Public Image, Reputation & Audience for Artists
How to shape your online presence and communication so they support your artistic growth, attract the right audience, and build the right kind of attention around your work.
This workshop is about building a stronger identity around an artistic practice: audience, reputation, communication, symbolic consistency, public opportunities, and long-term trajectory.
We will speak about artistic archetype, visual self-presentation, tone of voice, interviews, thematic coherence, audience relationship, PR logic, collaborations, invitations, publications, and the process by which an artist becomes recognisable and needed not only through the work itself, but through a stronger position around it. And of course, we will speak in much greater detail about how all of this can be applied through social media.
**The goal is to build the kind of presence that strengthens your artistic trajectory, grows the right audience around your work, and helps you build a reputation that supports both independent and institutional paths of development.**
**This workshop is for artists who:**
* want to understand how image, communication, reputation, and social media work together, and how to use Instagram as part of a serious long-term strategy rather than as random content production;
* want to grow independently without weakening future institutional possibilities, and want to become more legible, memorable, and strategically coherent in public space;
**[Please book your tickets here with Jenia Yanes.](https://jeniayanes.com/products/the-artist-collector-circle-public-image-reputation-and-audience-intensive?variant=57769507422556)**
**You can attend in person or online.**

We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them.
Together, we will talk about these topics:

* editors
* actors

We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us.
**Important information**:
*To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*
How to Start Your Art Collection: Exclusive Visit to Artist Studio
Today we look at the works of an artist who over the past two decades, has built an oeuvre consisting primarily of screen prints on paper and canvas. Prior to that, the artist had worked extensively in photography, filmmaking, and set design. The screenprinting work is informed by architecture - ancient and modern structures, calligraphy, graffiti, handwriting, and the movement of the masses through big metropolises.
Other techniques on paper are included in the visit - from lithography to etching, cyanotype to woodblock printing - and more!
Please note, the studio visit starts promptly at 12:00.
This studio is located on the top floor and has no elevator: you will have to walk four flights of stairs. Beverages will be served, poetry may be read.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STUDIO VISITS:
Get to know a handful of carefully selected artists who are enhancing, interjecting, and challenging art history through new media, new ideas, and new formats. Every artist builds their own universe, and for one exclusive afternoon, we are welcome into their sacred space of creation. The artist will tell their story and you are free to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and leave feeling inspired - and even with a beautiful new artwork to illuminate your space!

Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending.
*Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.

The film is directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Ana Nogueira, and stars Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet and Jason Momoa.
