Node Center for Curatorial Studies is pleased to present "Frank Prattle", an interview style radio show/podcast run by the artist Zefrey Throwell to have a conversation-over-coffee with two Berlin curators and participants of the coming exhibition  “Based in Berlin”, Joep van Liefland (Autocenter) and Axel J. Wieder (Pro qm) at the Node Center of Curatorial Studies, Waldemarstr. 37A, Berlin-Kreuzberg on June 7,
Tuesday at 12 pm.  The Frank Prattle radio style/blog hosted by the artist Zefrey Throwell has been documenting a good representation of the local contemporary art community in San Francisco and New York for the past years. Throwell throws people together (curators, artists, gallerists, critics) and has them discuss current trends and issues in art practice. It is geared primarily towards community education. The aim is to help people understand and enjoy the art world through the words of the artists and professionals who live it everyday.  Please join the Node Center for Curatorial Studies for a live session with Zefrey Throwell’s radio program as he moderates a lively discussion between Joep van Liefland (Autocenter) and Axel Wieder (Pro qm) in Berlin.
