BQ

BQ is a contemporary art gallery in Berlin located near Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz that is run by Jörn Bötnagel and Yvonne Quirmbach. Originating from a collaboration that began in the mid 1990s and first took shape as an exhibition space in 1998, the gallery has developed a reputation for an attentive, artist centered program grounded in long term relationships rather than trend chasing. Its exhibitions often foreground rigorous, idea led practices across painting, sculpture, installation, and related media, presented with a measured clarity that lets process and material decisions carry conceptual weight. With its consistent presence in Berlin’s gallery landscape and an active participation in the wider international circuit, BQ functions as a focused platform for contemporary work that values precision, continuity, and critical experimentation.
