Galleries/Venues

Werkstattgalerie is exhibiting young and established positions of modern and contemporary art and presents new aspects in painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. Main emphasis is lying in abstract and minimal arts and innovative technically new developments in traditional arts.

The gallery has been opened in June 2007 and is run by Pascual Jordan and Mirko Freiwald.

In its exhibition pracis the gallery doesn't follow a strict concept to show the richness of contemporary art which shows the changes and topics of our time. This has been done by curating international group exhibitions through open calls for a specific topic or presenting common new developments among young artists within a certain country.

Exhibition projects have not only been developed together with internally known curators at the gallery premisses but also in different European cities, whereby the gallery has temporally occupied non commercial new places next to institutional ones.

Werkstattgalerie succeeded to put its artists into several institutional museal exhibitions (Hamburger Deichtorhallen, Vilnius Academy of Arts, Berlinische Galerie, Salsali Private Museum Dubai, Klaipeda Culture Center in Lithuania, Kiek in de Koek Museum Tallin) , Collections and Biennials and is collaborating repeatedly with the embassies of France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia to promote a vivid exchance of culture and ideas between countries.
