Axel Obiger – Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst
Axel Obiger, an artist-run space for contemporary art, opened in September 2009 at 29 Brunnenstrasse in Berlin-Mitte.
Alongside two-person exhibitions and curated group shows, Axel Obiger presents an annual supporting program of performances, lectures, discussions, and artist talks. Collaboration with guest artists and curators is a central aspect of this approach. Through an open dialogue between guest artists and Axel Obiger members, we explore various artistic contexts and working methods, fostering a nuanced discourse between contrasting positions. In our group exhibitions and open-ended experiments – addressing themes such as authorship, consumption, the Anthropocene, and cultural signifiers in body and language – Axel Obiger investigates the intersections of scientific enquiry and cultural reflection.
Who is Axel Obiger?
Axel Obiger is a fictitious gallerist. The project space “Axel Obiger” is an artwork in itself, questioning the role models and mechanisms of the art system. Susanne Britz, Liz Dawson, Thilo Droste, Vivian Eckstein, Saeed Foroghi, Nathalie Grenzhaeuser, Harriet Groß, Andrea J. Grote, Gabriele Künne, Yuki Jungesblut, Matthias Moravek, Enrico Niemann, Maja Rohwetter, and Hans-Peter Stark are Axel Obiger.
