EMERSON Gallery Berlin

In autumn 2003 Emerson Gallery Berlin opened its doors
for the first time to present contemporary art exhibits in
Berlin. The gallery’s director, Russell Radzinski, is a former
New Yorker who has put together a Berlin team to discover
new directions in art by primarily younger artists. The
gallery’s program is not constrained by attention to any
particular artistic medium, rather, the common
denominator is strong artistic expression with a focus on
art’s standpoint to contemporary society. Exhibits are to be
supplemented with a cultural program consisting of related
literary readings, performances and roundtable discussions
designed to encourage a dialogue with gallery visitors.

Through these accompanying events the art exhibited is
meant to be actively discussed and not simply viewed or
consumed passively.
