paper positions berlin invites international galleries to apply with their most significant works in contemporary and modern art, focusing on the medium of paper.
From 1 - 4 May 2025, parallel to the Berlin Gallery Weekend, the ninth edition of paper positions berlin will take place for the first time in the impressive, over 2,500-square-meter main hall of the iconic Berlin Tempelhof Airport - a change driven by the growing interest in the fair and the increasing number of international galleries.
The move to the main hall of Tempelhof Airport highlights the growth and increasing relevance of paper positions berlin within the art scene, enabling an even more immersive experience with the medium of paper. Characteristic of paper positions is the absence of traditional booths in favor of a curated art salon approach. The larger space and open structure of the new venue allows galleries more freedom and opportunities to present their paper art positions in a multifaceted and impactful way.
paper positions berlin is the only art fair in the German-speaking region where participating galleries showcase a wide range of high-quality contemporary, modern, and 19th-century art, providing collectors and visitors with a concentrated insight into this special artistic medium. → more

“Paper is fragile, it breaks easily if treated incorrectly. Paper Positions impressively demonstrates what other qualities it possesses. In Berlin, the exhibition will be present for the seventh time during the Gallery Weekends. And even if the curated platform withdraws this time in June from Basel – where it is now as represented as it is in Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg – its commitment to »art with paper« has long convinced the audience.”
