WAS GESCHAH DEM FALLHAMMER?

When the Weekly Volcano thinks Berlin and art, we naturally think of Bob's Java Jive - our little coffee pot-shaped dive bar on South Tacoma Way.

Bauhaus. Edward Munch. Pabst.

OK, we don't. But art curator Zoe Miller does.

"I am doing the show at the Jive because it's probably one of my favorite places in America, and because the concept of my website, Galerie Europa, is to do shows in strange, unexpected places, that are a far cry from the white cube," explains Miller, a resident of Berlin.

Miller will curate a pop-up show featuring young artists from Berlin inside Bob's Java Jive tonight through Sunday. The show is entitled "Ornament and Crime."

"The show will feature drawings and videos by some of Berlin's most fascinating emerging artists: Andreas Arndt,? Charlotte Arnold, ?Daniela Bellm,? Silvia Berger, Ole Hartmann, ?Rouven Schmitt Hersfeld,? Bettina Krieg,? Fee Kleiß,?Laura Lesser,? Wolfgang Lugmair,? Nina Montini,? Yps Roth,? Katrin Rother, Marlene Stark, ?Marlon Wobst and ?Ulrich Wulff," says Miller.

"Ornament and Crime"
