Episode 66: Johann König

Amidst 2021's Berlin Gallery Weekend infamous Are We On Air pop-up in Berlin, Arman meets art impresario JOHANN KÖNIG at Unter Den Linden.

With a music selection that ranges from 90's euro-trash to today's latest Tik Tok viral song, JOHANN dwells on the ever changing city that is Berlin (and how he has no patience for the nostalgia infused talk of the 'good ol'days') and how being a gallerist in the age of NFT's is exciting as it ever was. 

Talking about how the late Virgil Abloh paved the way for a no-thrills approach to culture, JOHANN wants art to be appreciated as one appreciates music: "People consume art as they consume music. You listen to a song, you like it or not, it creates reaction with you or not. That's it!".  We say BRAVO!
