BERLIN TECHNO CLUB TO REOPEN WITH LARGE ART SPACE

Berlin’s legendary Tresor techno club is to reopen in an old steam-heat-generating plant in Mitte as early as March, reports the Berlin Paper. The new space, to be called Modem, will also host an art center modeled on London’s Tate Modern. The building, on Köpenicker Straße, boasts four levels, 20,000 square meters (215,278 square feet) of space, and 30-meter (98-foot) ceilings. Dimitri Hegemann, Tresor’s founder and owner, wants to promote electronic music and electronic art at Modem.
