Zink - München, closed

Profil

Galerie Zink was established at Munich in 2000 as one of the first art spaces in theemerging Munich Kunstareal located around the Pinakothek der Moderne . To give thegallery and its artists a better accessibility to the international art world Michael Zinkopened a space in Berlin Kreuzberg at Schlesische Str. 27 in January 2007 with the show"Berlin Baracke" by Nara & graf. Besides that, from February 2007 until the end of 2009the gallery ran an artists in residence program in New York.
With a straight international intention, the gallery´s focus is to support promising youngartists. That way Rinus Van de Velde and Gregory Forstner were introduced to the publicand succeded in giving well received entreés. The gallery's program is also shaped bylong lasting and deep collaborations with artists the gallery started with in the early1990ies like Yoshitomo Nara and Marcel van Eeden , whose works we have shown sincethe formation of the gallery in 1994.
The gallery´s program is tied up through a strong obligation to communicate art throughclear and intense visual ideas. Hereby, the gallery´s program is not limited to certainmedia, but displays the whole bandwidth from drawing, painting and sculpture tophotography and interactive video installation.
The gallery promotes and shows its artists in up to six gallery exhibitions in Munich andfive in Berlin each year. In order to show and place the work of the artists represented inpublic collections, the gallery cooperates with museums and art institutions at aninternational scale. That way it was for example possible for Marcel van Eeden to presenta his drawings at theHamburger Kunsthalle (2009), the Museum of Modern Art in NewYork (2009) or the Haus am Waldsee , Berlin (2010), for Gregory Forstner at the Musée deGrenoble (2009). Besides that, the gallery accompanies its artists' exhibitions throughcatalogues published by it or through its initiative.
