Our pick of cultural events worldwide this week.
This week we see artists journeying outside their usual discipline or challenging its boundaries, and uncover a little-known art collection in a Berlin bunker.

She&Him with The Living Sisters, Bowery Ballroom, New York – Monday 29th March
Actor Zooey Deschanel doesn’t draw the line at making films but also lends her hand to music. Half of the duet, She&Him, Deschanel and Mark Ward began working together in 2006. With a folksy, acoustic feel their music has a fresh sound, described by its creators as, “ a love letter to the musicians who inspired it”.
Tom Friedman ‘Up In The Air’, Magasin 3, Stockholm – Until June 6th

Boros Collection, Berlin – Ongoing
We have recently come across The Boros Collection, one of Berlin’s most secretive spaces. Opened in 2008, the collection has its permanent home in a converted bunker located in Mitte. Christian Boros has been collecting art for the past 20 years and through the bunker has opened up his personal possessions to the public, including sculptures, room and light installations and performances installed and arranged by the artists themselves.
