KÜSSE Berlin is a hybrid art space that functions as both an ART GALLERY and a RETAIL SHOP, where contemporary art, design, and publishing converge. This vibrant venue hosts a variety of events, including exhibitions, performances, workshops, and pop-ups.
Redefining conventional commercial spaces, KÜSSE Berlin is an interdisciplinary hub that represents and promotes emerging and mid-career artists and designers. It transcends conventional sales roles to become a dynamic platform for dialogue, idea exchange, and reflection, with collaboration as its cornerstone.
Since 2019, KÜSSE Berlin has been actively promoting emerging artists through exhibitions and cultural events. Originally based in Kathmandu (Nepal), the collective decided to establish a permanent presence in Berlin (Germany).
Since its creation, KÜSSE Berlin has presented the work of more than 50 international artists and collaborated with various independent organizations worldwide, including Kaalo 101 (Kathmandu, NPL), Preet Nagar Residency (Punjab, IND), SOSÂGE (Auckland, NZ), Ola Radio (Marseille, FR) and Vale Arvoredo - Espaço de Residência Artistica (Morro Reuter, BRA). The collective has also organized the 48H ABRACADABRA festival, which serves as an opportunity for exploration, experimentation, and the exchange of ideas on the interplay between the body, nature, and culture. Artists, performers, designers, theorists, anthropologists, and scientists are all invited to contribute their creative perspectives on the question ‘What does your relationship with nature look like?’
Over the years, KÜSSE Berlin has transformed into an innovative laboratory for curatorial experimentation. It seeks to challenge conventional exhibition formats and disrupt traditional institutional thinking by embracing alternative approaches. The exhibition space becomes a safe and dynamic environment, a living space that stimulates immersive experiences through encounters. The collective endeavors to dismantle disciplinary boundaries by blending various art forms, including cinema, poetry, tattoo art, fashion design, and visual art. It embodies a multidisciplinary and contemporary vision of society, where the artistic program serves as a platform for philosophical reflection, fostering conviviality, contemplation, and meditation. Above all, the collective places great emphasis on supporting emerging artists.
