Gallery Weekend Berlin 2024: Participating galleries and artists Gallery Weekend Berlin is celebrating its 20th edition from April 26–28, 2024, under the new direction of Antonia Ruder. Every spring, over 50 participating galleries showcase the diversity and quality of Berlin’s art scene and gallery landscape, presenting high-calibre exhibitions by both emerging and established artists.

In the past few years, a handful of exciting, young(ish) galleries have forced their way onto the list of Gallery Weekend. Run by an array of international gallerists, their distinctive style and fresh perspectives have rejuvenated Berlin’s most prestigious contemporary art event. Galerie Molitor, Noah Klink Galerie, Schiefe Zähne, Sweetwater and Heidi are all at the forefront of a wave of young galleries, and their inclusion doesn’t just underscore the quality of the city’s commercial landscape but speaks to the overall vitality of the Berlin art scene. With their ability to amplify diverse voices and to find ways to respond quickly to the social, cultural and political contexts of our ever-changing world, these often more experimental galleries can play a pivotal role in appealing to new art audiences and to uncover artists who may have been overlooked.

That’s certainly the case with Galerie Molitor who, before opening, had already identified several unrepresented Berlin-based artists they wanted to work with. “We knew we could bring something new to the city’s vibrant scene,” Says Marie-Christine Molitor, who founded the gallery in 2022. In the short time Galerie Molitor has been around, it has put together a diverse, intergenerational program, mixing much-admired artists such as Margaret Raspé – who experienced a late career boost just before her death last year aged 90 – with younger, mid-career artists like Lisa Jo and Jesse Darling – last year’s winner of the Turner Prize. The gallery’s readiness to extend their exhibitions with poetry readings, performances and even a QiGong practice has been instrumental in raising its profile while reinforcing its conceptually driven program that “reflects on the contingency of making and exhibiting art.”
