Gerhardsen Gerner

Gerhardsen Gerner is a gallery for contemporary art located at Linienstrasse 85 in Berlin-Mitte. The gallery maintains a second space in Oslo, and is operated by gallery owners Atle Gerhardsen (*1964 in Oslo) and Nicolai Gerner-Mathisen (*1979 in Oslo).

The gallery was founded by Atle Gerhardsen in Oslo in 1995, under the name c/o. Atle Gerhardsen showed works by artists such as Tony Oursler, Matthew Ritchie and Carroll Dunham for the first time in Oslo.[1] After moving to Berlin in 2000, Atle Gerhardsen opened the space in the railway arches near the Berlin Jannowitzbrücke station under the name c/o – Atle Gerhardsen in 2001.[2] In early 2009, the gallery was renamed Gerhardsen Gerner in order to include the name of Atle Gerhardsen's business partner of many years, Nicolai Gerner-Mathisen. Atle Gerhardsen and Nicolai Gerner-Mathisen opened their premises in Oslo in the newly built district Tjuvholmen on 15 May 2012.[3][4] In Oslo the gallery has shown exhibitions with artists such as Tal R,[5] Julian Opie,[6] Georg Herold,[7] Olafur Eliasson[8] or in March 2014 the group exhibition DO NOT DISTURB with the Scandinavian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset.

After 15 years at Jannowitzbrücke the Berlin gallery moves in February 2016 to the new premises at Linienstrasse 85.
