Mission

Schalter is a non-commercial platform for the conception of art and exhibition making. The space was founded on a belief that the exhibition can also exist as art work, and seeks to question traditional divisions between artist and curator, exhibition and discrete individual art work, and how we understand context, meaning and author.

In addition, since Berlin plays an increasingly global role as a destination for young artists, Schalter serves as a meeting point for young and new Berlin-based artists to meet, exchange ideas and congregate. The gallery also hosts a number of events, workshops and lectures series, such as You don't know who I am yet, which provides young or freshly arrived artists living in Berlin the opportunity to present their work to new audiences.
