The Gallery Weekend Will Come Back to Berlin
From the 29th of April until 1st of May, More Than 50 Galleries of Berlin Open Their Doors to the Gallery Weekend Berlin
February 23rd, 2016
The Gallery Weekend Berlin is one of the most important events for contemporary art in Germany and draws art fans and collectors from all over the world. Every year, during the Gallery Weekend, Berlin becomes a centre of interest for art fans and collectors. Well known galleries and many new and experimental working galleries make their spaces available to the visitors in order to contribute to this initiative.
The gallery space has always taken a central role during the Gallery Weekend Berlin and, over the last years, the perception of the gallery space has developed and changed. Exhibition space and architecture increasingly become one into an integrated concept for the perception of art – for instance, in old apartments, in factory buildings, in a church, in a former boiler room in a tower block or in an office building. The highly diverse gallery spaces in Berlin help primarily to present works of art and serve also as key settings for interaction between gallerist, artist, collector and art enthusiast. The artists who will be presented are all well selected, and are all focused on contemporary art.
The Gallery Weekend started in 2004 as a private initiative between Berlin galleries, the event has established itself as a leading German art event for contemporary art. Berlin is one of the most important art metropolises owing to the remarkable quality and number of galleries, the multifaceted art scene and the numerous, internationally exhibiting artists who live and work here.
Once a year on Gallery Weekend Berlin, a selection of renowned galleries join together, open their doors and invite national and international collectors, curators and art enthusiasts into their spaces and present works by their artists.
