Discover the POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair

The POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair has been a cornerstone of the Berlin art scene since 2014. The fair's mission is simple: to present a broad and independent overview of the international art scene, allowing visitors to engage with new and exciting perspectives.

The fair serves as a platform for both established galleries and emerging talents, creating a space where art can be experienced without the usual categorisations. This encourages dialogue between different artistic approaches and pushes the boundaries of what art can be.

By awarding prizes such as the Berlin Hyp Award, the Zilkens Best Booth Award and the HEUSSEN Perspectives Award, POSITIONS recognises and promotes creative excellence. These awards provide a significant boost for young artists and galleries, helping them gain international recognition and establish their careers.
