Galerie EIGEN + ART (berlin - leipzig)











About

The gallery EIGEN + ART, with locations in Leipzig and Berlin, represents established and young artists who work in media like film/video, photography, installation, painting and sculpture as well as conceptual art and performance. Therefore the gallery's program is dedicated in different fields of contemporary art.

Berlin Location: The Galerie EIGEN + ART works since its development continually with a solid number of artists. By the permanent cooperation with the artists, the gallery is involved in the steady development of each artistic position and therefore involved in the current art events since it's beginning. The centre and the origin of the business of the gallery are the represented artists and the development of their artistic work. Furthermore the program is complemented with several artists at a time after longer processes. Referring to the time of foundation of the Galerie EIGEN + ART, group exhibitions in regular terms of young artists are shown that are not an inherent part of the gallery's program.
The artists the Galerie EIGEN + ART represents, work in different areas of fine art as well as in an already established environments and at the beginning of artistic constitutions.

Notes

This gallery is part of an original partner gallery in Leipzig. In their history they have worked on international projects in various art capitals. The size of the gallery is roughly the same as Les Territoires, the art seems interesting, well curated and documented. The space feels contemporary, young and vibrant but it is perhaps too established? It started as a gallery project in a loft so it has artist-run roots but is quite slick now. It seems like an interesting possibility but it really depends on how Les Territoires feels about the art they are presenting, I have grafted a few examples here but the web page would warrant visiting to peruse the style of contemporary art and to get a sense of the conceptual content since these images are completely out of context.
