A short portrait: Carla Chan Ho-Choi

Carla Chan Ho-Choi (1989) is a young Berlin and Hong Kong based artist. She graduated from the School of Creative Media, City University in Hong Kong and has been active in the international scene since. Her works have been selected for various showcases in Europe, USA and Asia. Carla works with a variety of multimedial tools, like video, photos and other interactive medias, to create minimal pieces that play between reality and illusion.

The exhibition: To Outland

This is Carla's first solo exhibition in Berlin and it revolves around warping texture, scale and movement of landscape of a journey through an alien land.
I believe the title really embodies the nature of the exhibition. One step into the gallery and you can already feel as if you were entering a different dimension. Not only the visual elements capture your attention, but the show is a full-body experience set by the ambient music and the soft lighting. The peculiar creations of this artist lead you into a journey through space, a unique inner and outer space, free to be interpreted in many different ways.


Where and when: SMAC Gallery

If you'd like to float into another dimension, you can attend the showcase at SMAC Gallery in Berlin from the 30th January until Sunday 14th February.

Let us introduce ourselves. Sprachenatelier is a language school based in the trendy Eastern district of Friedrichshain, next to central Berlin. The school is based in a listed 20 th century building which is located on Frankfurter Allee, one of Berlin's oldest roads. We founded Sprachenatelier Berlin in 2003 as both a school and a studio; an institute where language learning is enhanced by a creative and immersive atmosphere and intercultural exchange. The studio space still features the original interior design and is the setting for regular cultural events such as art exhibitions, book readings and concerts. Thirteen years later and we are still dedicated to this approach. Offering lessons for all different levels, our German courses make up the core of our language program. Depending on your knowledge of the language, there is something for everyone, from complete beginners to „German for Doctors“. As well as our wide selection of German courses, we also offer

German Levels (A1 to C2)

  What does A1, A2 etc. mean..? ‚A1 to C2‘ are the levels of the Common European Framework (CEFR) – the levels are A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, A2.2, B1.1 etc. upto C2.2. This not only applies to German, but it is the standardised level reference used for European languages in general. A1 is beginner level, and the system goes upto C2, which is in theory mother tongue level – however, not even all native speakers would be able to pass a C2 exam! How long does each level take? Is the test a compulsory part of the courses? Every intensive German courses has an average of 160 sessions per level; however, the length of time required depends greatly on the individual student. A student with a background in learning languages and who speaks a Germanic language as their mother tongue will most likely require significantly less time than a student with no prior experience with learning foreign languages who speaks, for example, a romance language as their first language. The classes are
