How can art change the world? How can we achieve diversity in the art world? What is the next big thing? The new video series “A coffee with…” presented by Gallery Weekend Berlin and BMW provides short answers to important questions of the art world. Julia Stoschek, Sam Bardaouil, Till Fellrath, participating artists of Gallery Weekend Berlin and other internationally renowned figures of the art scene talk about their views and visions.

Initiated by Berlin gallerists in 2005, the Gallery Weekend brings together different gallery exhibitions that are spread across the whole city. Here, one witnesses the vital work of galleries as they champion and foster support for their artists, working alongside them to facilitate and conceive innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions. The weekend provides opportunities to discover new names or deepen existing passions.
