Während sich die Weihnachtsfeiertage nähern, wird es in Sachen Kunst langsam immer ruhiger in der Stadt. Dennoch laden ein paar interessante Gruppenausstellungen dazu ein, sich vor der Winterpause noch mal etwas Kunst anzusehen. Im Grimmuseum finden diese Woche gleich zwei Eröffnungen statt, da nun die Abschlussausstellungen des Curatorial Residency-Programms des Node Center for Curatorial Studies anstehen. General Public beherbergt am Samstag INDEXinGeneral, einen Ableger des New Yorker INDEX Festivals mit Live Performances sowie Sound- und Video-Installationen. Und im HAU 1 findet Samstag und Sonntag Min to Max statt, ein Architektursymposium, das sich mit  der Entwicklung neuer kostengünstiger Wohnlösungen beschäftigt und an dem
unter anderem Arno Brandlhuber teilnimmt. 

While the Christmas holidays are approaching, things are slowing down a bit art-wise. But there are still a couple of interesting group shows this week, inviting you to see some art before the winter break. Grimmuseum even has two openings this week, organized by the curators at Node Center for Curatorial Studies at the end of their 3 month residency. On Saturday, General Public hosts INDEXinGeneral, a showcase that brings this year's INDEX Festival from New York to Berlin, offering live performances as well as sound and video installations. And finally, there's Min to Max at HAU 1, an architectural symposium which deals with the development of new forms of economic living space.
