Berlin Wall to Become Gallery: East Germany will allow artists to turn part of the Berlin Wall’s bare eastern face into an outdoor gallery. Plans call for a nearly one-mile stretch in East Berlin to be set aside for painting and sculpture by 120 artists. The plan is to enlist famous names to work on 20% of the 33-foot-tall concrete panels making up the wall. The artworks, to be encased in clear plastic, would be opened to the public in May. All topics will permitted except East German campaign slogans and racism.
