The Galerie en passant began in 2005 as an informal group of artists presenting temporary exhibitions in various vacant commercial buildings.
Since 2007 the gallery has had a permanent location in the
Brunnenstraße in Berlin-Mitte. It actually consists of a steady group of artists working internationally but with a connection to Berlin.
Beyond genre category concepts Galerie en passant exhibits a very diverse spectrum of forms of expression and techniques. All 12 artists represent individual contemporary positions which shape the manyfacetted face of the gallery. The Galerie en passent serves the artists not only as a presentation platform, but also as an interactive space where direct contact can be established between them and the public – in the form of performances, concerts, talks with the artists, etc. – and where common projects can be realized.
