Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery has announced the opening of its new Berlin gallery in the Mercator Hoefe courtyard on Potsdamer Str. This expansive new space will further the gallery’s ambitious and diverse exhibition programme, with increased capacity for the presentation of large-scale works and installations.
Established in 2012, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery opened its first space in Berlin in 2018 and has since grown to establish itself in multiple cultural hubs across Europe and the United States. Located in a vibrant arts quarter amid numerous other international galleries, the new, larger Berlin space will become a cornerstone for artistic discourse, creating a platform where both emerging and established artists can connect with a global audience.
Opening in January 2025, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery will inaugurate its Berlin space with a solo exhibition by celebrated Ethiopian artist Dawit Abebe, who has been represented by the gallery since its inception and is known internationally for his innovative approach to themes of identity, power, and knowledge. The show “Barefoot (?? ???)” will encompass a striking new series of large-scale mixed media paintings that continue Abebe’s investigation into power structures and belief systems.
The Berlin gallery joins the ranks of Kristin Hjellegjerde’s other notable spaces, including the recent expansions into West Palm Beach, Florida and Tower Bridge, London.
