About:
GRIMMUSEUM is an non-profit artist-run exhibition space and platform for visual, performance and sound art in the premises of the former Luise Grimm Museum in the Fichte Strasse 2 in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Luise Grimm was a Berlin painter (1900-1991) who lived and worked for 28 years in the house where the GRIMMUSEUM stands today.
GRIMMUSEUM was initiated by the artist Enrico Centonze in November 2009 with the goal to create an interdisciplinary platform for the Berlin-based artist and curator community, young as well as established, to push the boundaries of curatorial praxis and to stimulate the dialogue between Berlin and the international art community. The GRIMMUSEUM is organized by artists for artists and its activities are divided in 3 categories: visual, performance and sound art. A group of 12 international artists runs the interdisciplinary program of exhibitions, residencies, performances, concerts and events that aims to be an exemplary representative of the spectrum of contemporary art.
The GRIMMUSEUM also operates as a network for artists and curators, mapping the Berlin art scene and making it accessible to a broader audience. An artist archive and a media center is being planned; artists can become a member of the GRIMMUSEUM for a small annual fee that will allow them to deposit their dossiers, film and sound works as well as their contacts in an artists index that will be made accessible to curators, gallery owners, collectors as well as to the general public. GRIMMUSEUM will also organize tours of artist studios on demand.
GRIMMUSEUM is interested in selective cooperations with different organisers of contemporary art exhibitions in order to co-produce exceptional projects. A Berlin Off-Spaces Biennial and a Perfomance and Sound Art Festival is also being planned.
GRIMMUSEUM is a non-profit organization and is entirely privately funded relying on the acquisition of third-party funding in order to realize its projects. The international team of artists responsible for the programming works entirely voluntarily parallel to their own artistic carreers.

Notes:
This seems like a really great space and the gallery operators are quite friendly as well, they are sending me a pdf with more information on their organization/ shows which I will read over and see what your response is to the space. The space is quite a bit larger than les territoires but is divided into two sides (as you can see from the exterior shot). The work they present seems very interesting although having gone thought their web page a few times I find that it really does not do their gallery any justice. I think this gallery would be worth having a meeting with to discuss the project with them in detail.
