paper positions berlin 2026

In its tenth edition, paper positions berlin presents more than 60 international galleries with outstanding positions in contemporary and modern art, focusing on drawing and the material paper.

From 30 April - 3 May 2026, paper positions berlin will take place once again in the impressive main hall of the iconic Berlin-Tempelhof Airport, spanning over 2,500 square metres — held in parallel with the Gallery Weekend in Berlin.
