KOW gallery first opened its doors in September 2009 in the Brandlhuber building at Brunnenstraße 9 in Berlin Mitte. It quickly became a focal point for the progressive scene. Since then, Nikolaus Oberhuber and Alexander Koch have been putting on an ambitious programme of socially oriented art and politically committed exhibitions. Artists from 16 countries, from Iraq to Chile, from Russia to South Africa, are giving the gallery programme its thematic depth and diversity. The gallery is now celebrating its 15th anniversary with the opening of new premises on Kurfürstenstraße. In his own words, Alexander Koch recalls memorable exhibitions from the last 15 years.
