Galerie Kern Origins

/

After almost two decades of studying working in the engineering industry, I was starting to envisage a sabbatical to refresh my mind. Tentatively, I had already planned an extended trip to Japan, hoping to indulge in its artistic and engineering excellence first-hand.

Then, several fortuitous coincidences presented an opportunity too good to forego.

Galerie Kern was born and offered me a unique chance to merge my love of both art and engineering. Indeed, in retrospect, it is amazing how many pieces fell into place at the exactly the right time. For this, and the people who have helped, inspired and guided me, I am eternally grateful.

Galerie Kern started as an inspired and spontaneous idea and has made great strides in a very short time. The first two exhibitions will be displayed in a pop-up gallery format in Zurich. Together with my dedicated friends, we are further refining the concept and direction that Galerie Kern is taking.

We are looking into offering services in curation and art management and have already begun organizing the 2020 exhibitions. We are also building a cluster of creative businesses in the greater Zurich area that share our love of the arts.

As this project grows, the nature and direction of the Galerie will also evolve. But at its core, the mission will remain to represent aesthetically appealing art and publication of emerging artists. To this end, we will always strive to surpass ourselves and offer the best possible platform for the art and the artist.

Galerie Kern - What is it all about?

Galerie Kern, based in Zurich, Switzerland, is the brainchild of Moritz Vischer, a production engineer with a love of elegant yet simple solutions to complex problems.

Galerie Kern commissions selected artists to create a series of works to a given theme that highlights and questions humanity and technology. Although each co-hort of artists is given the same theme, it is fascinating to see how each artists interprets the theme and yet, the common thread can be found. The culmination of these works are exhibited together, allowing the viewer to gain a new perspective on the theme.

We believe it is important to commission up-and-coming artists and present them in a curated manner to the public.

All works exhibited are limited editions or originals and may be purchased on site or via our contact form.
