Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee



Really enjoyed the Kippenberger show Zehr Gut at the Hamburger Banhopf - much more than I expected. 

My three favourites were: 

- the genius audio piece Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee that had me in giggles from the start

- the group of monochrome paintings' Uno di voi, un tedesco in Firenze' above (that were more squeezed together and tight in their Berlin display) 

- an incredible Slaves to Tourism slide show installation with a punk soundtrack that recreated from an event Kippenberger did at Cafe Einstein, showing an American road trip he and his friend took, with the slide projectors balanced on a ladder.

The exhibition is on until August 18.
