In need of creative inspiration? Or perhaps just a great night out? Let us direct you to our latest cooperation, created in collab with our buddies at LOST iN.

"I've seen too much art" said nobody, ever. In fact, during these darker days, a bit more gallery time is just what the doctor ordered. Which is why we give you the lowdown on a few must-catch shows for the month of November. And since inspiration does best with a bit of lubrication, LOST iN added a tip for drinking or dining a stone's throw from each show. All you have to do is soak it all in. 

ZÜRICH

Mike Kelley at Hauser & Wirth 
“Mike Kelley. God’s Oasis” challenges the social and cultural conventions of American society through comical and absurd formulations. The show displays rarely exhibited paintings and works on paper by late artist Mike Kelley which have never been shown before. 

Restaurant Eisenhof
This old-school diner in a former train station is a legendary stop owing to another form of transport. Namely, horse. A juicy 250g filet of horsemeat is the specialty at this unpretentious joint, where its sheer tastiness is guaranteed to dissolve all moral scruples. The steak draws in a crowd of faithful old timers, setting a perfect traditional backdrop to wax poetic on all things contemporary.


LONDON

Martin Eder at Newport Street Gallery 
Finding beauty in filth, depicting wide-eyed puppies alongside uncompromising nudes and more sinister and surreal encounters, the exhibition "Parasites" by Martin Eder places the sentimental, squalid and the sublime side by side.

HIX
Mark Hix's flagship location is a beloved London standby that offers a seasonal British menu, complete with reliable Sunday roast. Keep up the gallery theme with the artworks on display by the likes of Damien Hirst and Miranda Donovan. For the digestif, head downstairs to Mark’s apothecary bar, where the lights are low and the cocktails are strong.


BERLIN

Julian Charrière at Berlinische Galerie
This year's GASAG prize winner, Julian Charrière, has produced a haunting body of work that resonates with the disconnectedness of our world. The artist created a spatial installation that takes you underwater into the Pacific Ocean of the Bikini Atoll, where the U.S. tested thermonuclear weapons seventy years ago.

Nobelhart & Schmutzig
Sommelier Billy Wagner and Micha Schäfer opened this spot in 2015 with the goal not to fit in, but to break the rules of fine dining. Their motto “brutal lokal” sets the tone. No to lemons! No to chocolate! They don’t even use pepper, because you can’t source it locally. This radical restraint has been the catalyst for a new kind of Berlin cuisine.


VIENNA

Anthea Hamilton at Secession 
Anthea Hamilton's interdisciplinary interest in performance is evident in the immersive site-specific installation for Secession's iconic space. Her work is rooted in wide-ranging research spanning from fashion, Japanese kabuki theatre or 70s disco to art-historical references like Art Nouveau or radical Italian design.

Loos Bar
Designed by modernist pioneer Adolf Loos, this marble and mahogany bar is one of Vienna's architectural gems. The low-lit den was formerly part of a gentleman's club and has been serving up liquid confidence for a century, making it the perfect place for an intimate exchange on the in-your-face installation you've just walked through.
