— Curator
About
As a curator, Manuel Osterholt develops exhibitions and projects that move between contemporary art, photography, and street culture. From 2013 to 2022 he programmed and curated shows at HVW8 Gallery Berlin, the Grimmuseum, BEINGHUNTED Gallery, and HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts in Dresden.
His curatorial practice focuses on visual narratives, cultural dialogue, and bringing together artists from adjacent disciplines — painting, drawing, photography, and graphic culture — in carefully edited exhibition formats.
He continues this work through the Future/Memory platform, an ongoing curatorial and publishing project based in Berlin.
