INVALID - closed project - Berlin
INVALID Gallery was launched in May 2006. It is a non-profit private initiative that mainly focuses on works of young and unknown artists. Temporarily located in a shop- flat in Nord-Neukölln/Berlin, Germany, INVALID is an experiment and understands itself as work in progress.
We are driven by a number of questions and curiosities concerning the location/dislocation of art and artistic practices in the space between the private and the public, at the interface of in and out, here and there.
How does art function as a social vehicle? How does the urban context, the social structure of our immediate environment influence our work? How are social networks created through cultural practices? What possibilities and limitations rest within using a domestic space as an exhibition venue and means through which art is presented, and how can those be utilised productively?
Moreover, the curatorial approach also includes close bonding with the artists and through this becomes with each individual exhibition an attempt to further explore the meaning of art as a medium within its own conceptual conditions.
INVALID Gallery actively seeks contact with artists, locals and professional activists as well as people with a general interest in culture. Our ambition is to render art and artistic practices topical that do neither understand themselves as commodity nor function exclusively in aesthetic terms. We aim to offer an art space, within which art and artistic practices create a platform for developing new varieties of talking, making, and presenting contemporary art.
