ART LABORATORY BERLIN, a non-profit organisation, was founded in Autumn 2006 as Art Laboratory Berlin e.V, .by an international team of art historians and artists. As a non-commercial art space, ART LABORATORY BERLIN was established as a platform for projects concentrating on the border between visual arts and related artistic and scholarly fields.

The main focus of interest is the exhibition and placement of contemporary visual art that interacts with other creative areas, which has already been realized in such exhibition series as "Art and Music", "Art and Text", "Art and Science" and "Art and Law". Each of these points of interaction are represented by a series of three or four diverse exhibitions. Our goal is to explore the manifold approach of interaction and interconnection between these genres.

ART LABORATORY BERLIN is also interested in supporting contact between artists and the public as part of our exhibitions. To improve a better understanding of emerging and experimental art, we include public discussions with artists and curators. Additionally our program provides lectures, film screenings, curator's talks, and workshops.

Currently ART LABORATORY BERLIN is run by Christian de Lutz and Regine Rapp.

The current team of Art Laboratory Berlin include:

Christian de Lutz, visual artist from New York, working in photography, new media, video and installation. His artworks deal with social, political and cultural themes, particularly in Europe, and especially the themes of migration and cultural borderlines. He has collaborated with artists and institutions in Germany, Spain and Southeast Europe as well as exhibiting in Europe, the USA and Japan.

Regine Rapp, art historian, is writing her PhD thesis in the spatial aesthetics of Installation Art of the 1990s at the Humboldt University, Berlin. Further fields of specialisation include image and text as well as Russian modern and contemporary art. She has worked in a number of museums worldwide, and currently gives lectures and tours at the Berlin State Museums. She is a member of the International Association on Word and Image Studies (IAWIS).

María León, a visual artist from Spain working in video, textiles, drawing and installation, is an intern at Art Laboratory Berlin during Summer 2010. Her degree in Fine Arts was combined with several workshops done with such artists as Antoni Muntadas, Ben Patterson or Gary Hill. She has just finished her thesis entitled “El abrigo en el arte contemporáneo” in the Department of Art History at Complutense University of Madrid.

Olga Shmakova, who is currently an intern at Art Laboratory Berlin, studies Art History at the Russian State University for the Humanities (RGGU) in Moscow. She also studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 2008-2009 as part of her project "The Search for an Ideal Artistic Language in the Russian Avant-garde and the German Bauhaus."
