carry , We Carry Art. A curatorial collective for contemporary art in Berlin's cafés, bars and cultural spaces.

Michael Nickel and Jonathan Goudefroy, founders of carry, at an art exhibition in Berlin

We Carry Art. We, Jonathan and Michael, curate artistic positions for spaces far from the White Cube. Out of the dusty studio and into the places where people spend their everyday lives.

  • Curation

    We select works and build an exhibition that fits the space and the people in it.

  • Hanging

    We install everything on-site so the works come into their own in a real, lived-in space.

  • Sales

    We build a sales system so the works find a new home.

  • On-site

    We see ourselves as hosts, from set-up to the last guest.

FOR SPACES

You have a space

You have a space and want art, an event, an exhibition or something long-term. We'll get in touch and figure out together what fits. You get a ready-made cultural format and a cultural profile, with zero operational effort on your side.

FOR ARTISTS

You make art

Want to show your art? Get in touch, join our portfolio and become part of upcoming projects. We take care of curation, hanging, sales and the day itself. We want to plan, curate and hang the exhibition together with you. As an artist, you can be as involved as you like.
