OUR MISSION.
By structuring, saving and contextualizing information, berlinerpool takes a mediating position between individuals, making their work and ideas accessible to professional and wider audiences.
TEAM.
The berlinerpool team is an organic collective. Depending on the topic and the technical requirements of the project, berlinerpool invites various actors from the Berlin and international scene to participate in the development of the concept and its implementation.
OUR APPROACH.
In an interdisciplinary and collaborative way, berlinerpool explores the interdependencies implicit in the process of making culture at large, bringing people closer by sharing resources, exchanging knowledge, and mapping contemporary concerns. With this aim, berlinerpool’s public program of exhibitions, talks, workshops, study visits, international projects and goal-oriented residence programs responds to the fields of curating, arts management, archiving practices and digital realm, understanding an on-going research as the axis to actively engage and mobilize people, projects and ideas through local and international cooperations.
