Chelsea? Berlin-Mitte? Karlsruhe!

I was very pleased to read about Meyer Riegger Gallery, Karlsruhe in Die Zeit, a major weekly newspaper in Germany. Meyer Riegger is a gallery based in Karlsruhe (south of Germany) which is quite unusual for a successful and internationally known gallery in Germany. Most of the galleries are in Berlin or Duesseldorf (some in Cologne). Kalrsruhe doesn't exist in the artworld (they have quite good art- and designschools there, but only a few galleries. You go there to study but not for business!). So it's unusual that a gallery based in the province takes part in major art fairs and convinces collectors and curators to visit Karlsruhe. Actually Karlsruhe isn't that bad. They have the ZKM, Kunsthalle and many little exhibitions spaces and upcoming galleries like Iris Kadel. It's definitely worth a visit. Maybe on your way from Frankfurt Airport to Art Basel 07? The Art Karlsruhe is the next bigger occasion. I'm going to blog from there for regioartline by the way.
