January 26 - March 3, 2007

Schalter is pleased to announce its new exhibition: Made for Each Other: Los Angeles' JMOCA at Schalter.

Made for Each Other will present the work of six artists in a colloborative exhibition between JMOCA (Justin's Museum of Contemporary Art) and Schalter. JMOCA is a Los Angeles based exhibition space that exists both online and in the physical space of JMOCA founder, Justin Hansch's, residential space. Each JMOCA event is celebrated with a one-night exhibition and opening in Justin's home. Made for Each Other, will represent the first time the space has been presented outside of LA.

Made for Each Other, is designed to function like an introduction; introducing a small community of artists from LA to Berlin, bringing disparate groups from Berlin to the intimacy of JMOCA, as well as acknowledging a shared vision between JMOCA and Schalter. Both JMOCA and Schalter sprung from a desire to be part of the institution, to be included and to view the exhibition and context as central to the work of art.

For this exhibition, a small number artists have been invited from LA to travel to Berlin including Justin Hansch, John Knuth, Jason Starr, James Krone, Kiersten Puupsemp and D'Nell Larson. The exhibition will include painting, photography and video, as well as sculpture and installation. The majority of the artists included in the exhibition are represented by leading galleries in the US and have shown in leading international arts institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
