Galerie Axel Obiger




About:
“Galerie Axel Obiger” opened on 18th September 2009 at Brunnenstraße 29 in Berlin Mitte with a group exhibition. Each year, the gallery will present six two-person exhibitions, one group exhibition of current work, guest artists and a supporting programme of performances, readings and artist talks.
Galerie Axel Obiger exclusively shows contemporary work. All media will be represented by the gallery artists, including painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, object-making, installation and video. Each artist's work makes strong references to dense figurative-spatial forms of expression.

Notes:


This gallery is also quite new but had a really great photography show on (well curated) that is part of the European Photography Month Berlin. The gallery is comprised of two spaces (one main 2 room space and a second show room next door to the gallery making it approx 800 sq ft. I chatted a bit with the owner who was friendly and knowledgeable about the pieces contained in the show. Great location. It is not all together evident how the gallery is funded but it appears to  be more "independent" than commercial in the approach to curating and organization. More photos of exterior to come.
