Munich
GAllErIES:
1. Barbara Gross Galerie
Founded in 1988, it was established with the
intention of representing female artists otherwise
under­represented in the art market and
museums at the time. It has maintained a dedication
to politically and socially relevant artists
such as Leon Golub, Boris Mikhailov, Rémy
Zaugg and others, while cutting across generations
and locations with impressive names like
Valie Export, Katharina Grosse, Tamara Grcic
and Kiki Smith.

2. Firstlines Gallery
Established by Florian Hubalek in the lively
neigh bourhood of Glockenbach, it is home to
some of the most experimental shows in Munich
today. It is particularly invested in current
aesthetics with, among its artists, Firstlines
lists Frank Balve, Maximilian Geuter and Johannes
Hartmann, whose clay sculptures decay
and crumble in the gallery space, even as
the public comes and goes.
Klenzestraße 4, 80469

3. Galerie Matthias Jahn
Representing a group of artists living and working
in Germany today, it gives a taste of recent
movements in painting and installation works.
With names like Mirko Tschauner and Ioan
Gro su under its roof, the gallery offers an interesting
cross­section of the techniques and
ideas being developed across Berlin, Munich
and Cologne.

4. Galerie Stephanie Bender
Tucked into a side street not far from Munich’s
‘museum row’, and offering a challenge to
more established and conservative galleries
in the city, it represents artists like Carlos De
los Ríos, Balam Bartolomé, Jan Stieding and
Mira Thomsen.

5. Galerie Esther Donatz
Having just opened as an offshoot of another
young contemporary art space, it has already
put on several immersive mixed­media exhibitions
that splice together sculpture, photography
and video pieces to create somewhat fictitious
environments with works by artists such
as Clea Stracke & Verena Seibt, Anna McCarthy.

6. Galerie f5,6
Though rooted in photography, the artists and
exhibitions at Galerie f5,6 grow in very different
directions, into abstraction as much as realistic
documentation. The gallery has a long
and diverse roster of artists from Germany and
abroad, including Lawrence Schiller, Olaf Martens,
Evelyn Hofer and Tomio Seike.

7. Galerie Andreas Grimm
A varied group of artists like Paul Kennedy,
Matt Saunders, Bjørn Melhus and Damien Cadio
give Galerie Andreas Grimm an air of newness
and unpredictability, with shows ranging
in points of view, reference and style.

8. Galerie Françoise Heitsch
Representing a global network of artists, Galerie
Françoise Heitsch spotlights works relevant
to the politics of the time. Among its artists
are Zafos Xagoraris, Mette Tronvoll and
Carmela Uranga.

9. Galerie Andreas Höhne
With shows primarily consisting of paint ing,
sculpture and installation works, Galerie Andreas
Höhne sometimes transforms into a totally
immersive environment, integrating itself
into site­specific shows. At other times, the
gallery functions as a strict frame for pieces
that need to be viewed from a distance. Artists
like Axel Huber, Albert Mayr, Karl Unterfrauner
and Anna Fasshauer ensure a very different
experience with each show.

10. Galerie Jordanow
Photography at Galerie Jordanow is shorthand
for a wide range of experimental works that also
reach into painting, architecture, installa tion
and documentary style, among others. Artists
THERESIENWIESE
like Alexandra Vogt, Vera Mercer and Frank
Darius – to take representative examples of
the gallery’s across­the­board crew – span
across ‘time’, location and genre.

11. Galerie royal
Galerie Royal initially opened its doors as a non­
commercial project space in early 2002, on
the outskirts of Munich. Having experienced
success as a very different kind of stomping
ground for Munich, located as it was in a former
paper factory and featuring many new local
artists, Royal relocated to the city’s centre
