Off space / Artist run space / Project space / Independent / Non Profit / Temporary / Contemporary / Avant Garde / Hype / Playground / Cool…

Yeah yeah. But what do we really know about Berlin’s projects spaces and the people behind them? Have You Met… will be introducing them to you, one by one…

Have You Met... Jesper Dyrehauge and Lotte Mølle  of die raum… (text Maria Santos, pictures courtesy of die raum)

There is a certain exhibition space in the middle of a jungle ruled by proud stroller-pushing parents and compulsive coffee drinkers that really worth a visit to the heart of Prenzlauer Berg.

die raum is a 5 m2 exhibition space in the multifunctional house in Oderberger Straße 56 designed by BARarchitekten.

Run by Jesper Dyrehauge and Lotte Møller, they are just celebrating their first anniversary after eight exhibitions and a reasonable amount of fun.

They claim to be the smallest art space with the biggest flyer: for each exhibition they produce a poster in collaboration with the exhibiting artist that is also part of their concept.

 

But the danish curator combo has very different backgrounds and fields of work. Lotte studied Art History before landing in Berlin. Her work comprises writing and dealing with artists in terms of production, while Jesper is an artist himself. He has worked in public space before, but now primarely works with a variation on painting using different printing techniques.

I met them in Oderberger Straße and we talked about artist salaries, modernism and, how they get by with a little help from their friends, as the song goes.
