Curators 

    Janine Bean

Janine Bean was born in 1974 and grew up in Mecklenburg in the former German Democratic Republic. She moved to Berlin in 1994, where she worked in the „Galerie am Wasserturm“ for two years. After finishing her studies in Museology at the FhTW, Berlin in 2000, she began working with several artists groups. In 2004 she founded the janinebeangallery.
Since then, she frequently curates national and international exhibitions
and projects. As a curator and gallerist Mrs. Bean promotes young contemporary art, emphasizing on exhibitions and projects with specific themes or working titles.
For her, the close collaboration with international artists is important and necessary to develop themes in cooperation. Often, and ideally, a reciprocal inspiration among the artists and the curator is a result .
    Matthias Bergemann 

Matthias Bergemann was born in 1973 in Frisia in northern Germany. Soon after graduating from highschool in Bremen he moved to Berlin to study literature and ancient history. In 1998 he teamed up with two friends to manage their artistic workshop. Besides coordinating the artistic designs and performances for cultural events and festivals he contributed his
lyrical input to several of the projects. In 2005 Matthias Bergemann got to know Janine Bean and decided to vary his work to join the janinebeangallery as a director. This was the result of the urge to fathom
the roots of the artistic expression he had dealt with before. Aside from this work for the gallery, Matthias started to cooperate with Janine Bean in curating exhibitions.
