Initiated in 2012 by Fair Director Oliver Lähndorf, the annual Emerging Artists exhibition at Affordable Art Fair Hamburg has given a curated platform to new talents who haven’t been represented by a gallery at the time.

Looking back at the last 12 years, the visibility generated by the Emerging Artist exhibitions has been integral in supporting and pushing artist’s careers within the difficult starting conditions of the art world.

Emerging Artists Berlin 2024: ‘Spannungsverhältnisse’

This year, the first ‘Emerging Artists Berlin 2024’ exhibition addresses the topic ‘Spannungsverhältnisse’ and will be curated by Fair Manager Hannah Weber-Heidenfels, showing the conceptual works of four Berlin artists which have their artistic focus in Berlin: Jana Schumacher, Jonas Büßecker, Nina Kuttler and Viktor Petrov.

The four different artistic positions deal with the same topic in their own individual way. 

The exhibition ‘Spannungsverhältnisse’ will create a space of tranquility within the busy atmosphere at the fair and will give the visitors the opportunity to reflect and to relate to the artworks themselves.

The participating artists this year are:
