Christmas With The Beatles' Opens In Kreuzberg

Artist and gallerist Manfred Kirschner's favorite toy is a portable orange record player.Kirschner often uses his player, made in the 1970's, to listen to "Yellow Submarine." The Beatles record was a Christmas present from his older brother."My first records were Beatles records because I love this music," Kirschner says. "It was played in the radio, and it was different to the other stuff. Not really like what was in the hit parade, so it's very personal."The 44 year-old runs "Crystal Ball," a gallery for contemporary art in Kreuzberg. It's a bit like a living room for artists.At openings, Kirschner likes to DJ and often serves home made soup. For the last show of the year, he treated himself to a Christmas gift, inviting artists to interpret the Beatles.
