BERLINER LISTE 2009 - fair for contemporary art, photography and art since 1960
Like no other city, Berlin has an extremely strong attraction for young artists from all over the world. The BERLINER LISTE represents this scene, and with a sure flair for selecting contemporary exhibitors in the last few years the fair has advanced to become a seismograph for contemporary trends.
Since it was established in 2004 to complement the ART FORUM, the BERLINER LISTE has positioned itself as an innovative "fair of discovery" for young talents. The fair is held in a different location each year and fills places that have fallen into oblivion with new life. Special venues for the BERLINER LISTE in previous years have included the former transformer station Umspannwerk in Kopenhagener Straße in the Prenzlauer Berg district (formerly the Vitra Design Museum) and the former post office station Postbahnhof at the rail triangle. On its fifth anniversary in 2008 the BERLINER LISTE took up residence in Haus Cumberland, a vacant former 5-star luxury hotel on Kurfürstendamm.
The 2008 anniversary edition was the greatest success to date: around 15,000 international curators, collectors and art enthusiasts including 450 accredited journalists came to the LISTE. 74 galleries exhibited their art on an area of more than 4000m2. This makes the BERLINER LISTE Berlin's second largest art fair after ART FORUM. Recognised by the press and the public, it has now become firmly established in the international art scene as an innovative fair of discovery.
The new photography section was also a resounding success. For the first time, 10 galleries exhibited photography only and were able to welcome numerous photograph collectors to the BERLINER LISTE. In 2009 we will further expand the photography section and promote networking between galleries at the whole fair.
This autumn the BERLINER LISTE – fair for contemporary art, photography and art since 1960 – will take place for the sixth time parallel to the ART FORUM. From 24 - 27 September 2009 more than 60 international galleries will present their most interesting artists and their works at the BERLINER LISTE 2009. As every year, in 2009 we will once again find an exciting and unconventional location for the presentation of art. Previous locations for the fair have included an old school in the Prenzlauer Berg district, a transformer station, the former post office station and a vacant luxury hotel on Kurfürstendamm. We always choose special locations for our fair! This year, too, the fair will once again take place in an exciting location in the centre of Berlin. The new venue also promises to be a good and exciting setting for the fair. We will publish details of the new fair location in June.
