German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk kicked off eight nights of concerts at an iconic Berlin museum Tuesday with a multimedia performance of their classic album "Autobahn". Founding member Ralf Huetter, 68, collaborated with other artists to make 3D films to be projected in the signature glass-and-steel shell of the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery) while the quartet performed its trailblazing brand of "industrial folk music". The stunning modernist temple by Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe is hosting the back-to-back shows before it closes for several years for renovation. Kraftwerk's concerts have been sold out since November and come on the heels of other high-concept outings at the Sydney Opera House, New York's MoMA, the Tate Modern in London and Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo.
