nüüd.berlin

nüüd.berlin was initially founded in 2016 by Henner Merle as “fine art berlin project spaces”. The gallery represents painters, sculptors and photographers and organises exhibitions and supporting programmes. In addition to discovering and promoting talented newcomers, the gallery owner also wants to introduce established artists who have not yet exhibited in Berlin or Germany and make them known nationally as well as internationally.

As director and co-founder of the former gallery ZFF – Zentrum für Fotografie in Berlin (1997/98) & co-curator of the exhibition for the successful book BERLIN WONDERLAND by Anke Fesel & Chris Keller (2014), he gained practical experience as a gallery owner and curator. After five years of numerous pop-up exhibitions at ever-changing locations, Henner Merle decided to take the next step and open a permanent space for art exhibitions in Berlin-Mitte in September 2021, despite the difficult pandemic year. With the permanent location and the planning security gained through this, exhibitions with the gallery’s artists and other artists will now be held regularly. In addition, it will now be possible to concretise and realise long-held plans – such as a cooperation with a New York gallery or a German-Indian project. nüüd.berlin gallery is intended to be an innovative place where new ideas are not only developed and realised together with the artists, but also a place where people meet to freely exchange ideas and be inspired by art.

At first, “nüüd” has no logical meaning. It sounds unusual and is meant to arouse curiosity. “nüüd” is Estonian and means “now”. The gallery shows “now”, i.e. current, contemporary art.

In the series “nüüd.berlin intimate spaces”, artists and the art-interested public are brought together at irregular intervals in smaller, more intimate, confidential places – artists’ studios, artists’ flats.

In the new series “nüüd.berlin art + benefit”, the presentation of art is to be combined with a charitable purpose and a portion of the sales proceeds donated to a charitable institution.
