PSM

PSM is a contemporary art gallery in Berlin, Germany. It was opened in September 2008 by Sabine Schmidt and inherited the name and logo of Schmidt’s grandfather, Paul Schmidt, who founded his machine production factory (Paul Schmidt Maschinenfabrik) after the Second World War. From the outset, the gallery has presented exhibitions with a preference for large installations and performative formats that encourage visitor participation. The gallery programme therefore focuses on conceptual mixed-media art with an emphasis on three-dimensional and performance-based works. PSM represents and exhibits a wide range of international artists, born between 1964 and 1989. Many of them, such as Catherine Biocca, Christian Falsnaes, and Nadira Husain, push the boundaries of what it means to address and engage the art-viewing public. In September 2017, PSM moved into new premises located opposite Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie and near one of the city’s youngest clusters of galleries in Potsdamer Straße.
