ABOUT
Galerie Metro opened in April 2007 on Brunnenstrasse in Berlin-Mitte. The gallery is run by Kai Schupke, former director of the art association “NewYorkRioTokyo” (www.nyrt.net) and Hannah Beck-Mannagetta, former managing curator of the interdisciplinary project space FIELD (www.field-berlin.com). Metro represents emerging artists mainly working in the fields of video and installation with a conceptual approach. In addition to the regular exhibition program Galerie Metro invites artists for international exchange group shows as well as solo shows. The name of the gallery has been chosen with reference to the commercial realignment and alludes to the motto of the homonymous wholesaler chain: “cash and carry”. Thus the name “Metro” refers to the reflection of the relation between art and market and the position of our gallery within the art system in the broadest sense as one common denominator.
