  • A book marking Berghain's tenth anniversary is on the way. The Berlin club's anniversary celebrations began last year with an exhibition and a marathon party. It's now emerged that they'll publish a book in German and English called 10. Written contributions come from Stefan Goldmann, Jens Balzer, Dorothée Brill, Hanno Hinkelbein, Jan Kedves, Thomas Meinecke, Thilo Schneider, Jürgen Wronski and more. There will be photographs of Berghain staff taken by the club's bouncer Sven Marquardt, as well as Friederike von Rauch's pictures of Halle am Berghain. Images of installations and artwork, many of which were on show at last year's exhibition, make it into the book as well, with works by Carsten Nicolai (AKA Alva Noto), Norbert Bisky, Marc Brandenburg, Ali Kepenek, Viron Erol Vert, Piotr Nathan, Sarah Schönfeldt all appearing. 10 will be published by Hatje Cantz in May 2015. Berghain is not the first nightclub to release a book. Last year Trouw published a tome commemorating its final year, and in 2012 Robert Johnson released Come On In My Kitchen.
