From Rebecca Horn’s kinetic installations to Richard Sides’s matrix, assistant editor Carina Bukuts chooses the exhibitions not to miss.

All that glitters is not gold – and who would know that better than New York-based artist Kayode Ojo, whose shiny installations deal with the relationship between original and fake. In his installations he references modernist furniture designs and high-fashion accessories by using mass-produced materials such as mirrors, glass, rhinestone and chrome, cheekily suggesting that anything can be transformed into luxury if it’s polished enough. ‘Call it What You Want’, the title of Ojo’s exhibition at Sweetwater’s new location on Leipziger Straße, couldn’t be better suited to speak to his works.
