\n\tLocated in its namesake German city, Kraftwerk Berlin is an exhibition and cultural event space located in a former power station. A press release about Contra advises that its environmental design will be spearheaded by Paris-based studio Matiere Noire, \u201cwhose spatial intervention will reshape the monumental scale of Kraftwerk into intimate atmospheres, while dissolving distinctions between light and sound.\u201d Matiere Noire has previously worked on scenography for\u00a0brands including Courr\u00e8ges, MM6, Cartier and Chanel.<\/p>\n

\n\tThose checking their watches will notice that the newly announced event is happening in 10 days. Tickets are available now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
