COLOGNE
Music/Concerts
Goldfrapp
Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory say their latest album Head First contains a "softness" and a "vulnerability" that their previous four records didn't have. OK, but there's still a whole lot of electro-lushness. Get ready for the duo's space-tastic stage show Monday night in Cologne.

FRANKFURT
Galleries/Museums
Not in Fashion - Fashion and Photography From the 1990s
Remember the nineties? Waif-thin models like Kate Moss struck a pose in flannel shirts with cigarettes. Fashion took a turn away from seventies and eighties glamour and sauntered into an alternative world. This new exhibition at Frankfurt's Museum of Modern Art takes a look at fashion and photography of the grunge era. Relive it at Friday night's opening.
Price: €8
Location: MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Domstrasse 10
Times: Friday, September 24, 8pm (opening); Tuesday, Thursday - Sunday, 10am-6pm, Wednesday, 10am-8pm (regular hours); through January 9, 2011

World Transformers - The Art of the Outsiders
The Schirn Kunsthalle's website says this new exhibition will "inspire observers to venture outside the structures of certainty of their daily lives." We could all benefit from a little escape from the safety of our day-to-day routines now couldn't we? Be sure to check out works like August Walla's "End-of-Eternities Land" and Judith Scott's life-size woven cocoon this fall.
Price: €8
Location: Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Römerberg

HAMBURG
Galleries/Museums
Paul Graham - Photographs 1981-2006
Hugely influential in the history of photographic development, the British picture man documented things like the A1 Road, which connects London and Edinburgh. His series "New Europe" documents that continent's recent history. And "American Night" forms an unsettling portrait of US society. Is it art or is it journalism? See for yourself Friday when this exhibition opens in Hamburg.
