Belonging to the first generation of Berlin’s new gallery scene, the Mehdi Chouakri gallery started in 1996 in Berlin Mitte. Since then, international artists like Sylvie Fleury, Mathieu Mercier, Gerold Miller, and Gerwald Rockenschaub have found their platform here. For some major artists like John M Armleder and Hans-Peter Feldmann the Mehdi Chouakri Gallery has become their main base in Germany. In the gallery‘s present location at the Edison Hoefe, a historical industrial landmark, Mehdi Chouakri successfully keeps introducing younger discoveries like Saâdane Afif, Luca Trevisani, Philippe Decrauzat. With Charlotte Posenenske, Peter Roehr, and Martin Disler, Mehdi Chouakri included three historical positions to his program and effected their posthumous success.
The Gallery is moving in Spring 2017 and opens two new locations on the 28th April on Fasanenstraße 61 in Wilmersdorf and Mommsenstraße Ecke Bleibtreustraße 41 in Charlottenburg.
In spring 2022, mehdi chouakri opens a large exhibition space in the Wilhelm Hallen in Reinickendorf (Kopenhagener Straße 60-72, 13407 Berlin). Saturday open from 11 am to 6 pm and by appointment.
