ART CRU Gallery
Outsider art right in the middle of the Berlin art scene
The ART CRU Berlin Gallery, founded in 2008, is the first and only Berlin gallery to deal with so-called “outsider art”. Outside art – or Art Brut as it is called in French-speaking countries, denotes art performed by intellectually or mentally handicapped persons.
The gallery has set itself the goal of giving these artists a platform. Located in the heart of the city's trendy gallery district, just a few metres from the famous Jewish synagogue, it is an exhibition venue that reduces the distance between the established art scene and outsider art. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and drawings are presented in the gallery. The works provide an authentic insight into the feelings and thoughts of disabled or mentally ill people. Several exhibitions are held here every year.
