Artist Run Non-Profit Gallery in Berlin Kreuzberg 2012-2022
Curatorial Nomad since 2022

Erratum is a nomadic curatorial project dedicated to independent, non-commercial artistic practices, underground cultures, and alternative models of collaboration. Initially a physical space in Berlin (2012–2022), it has since evolved into a mobile platform for exhibitions and artistic interventions in diverse locations. Led by Katya Quel, Erratum prioritizes female artists, underrepresented minorities, and voices outside established institutional networks.

Engaging with digital culture, sustainability, and experimental ways of living, the project continuously redefines what an art space can be, embracing mobility as a curatorial strategy to foster new communities and site-specific dialogues.

This shift reflects both an adaptation to the challenges of the real estate market and a commitment to flexible, dynamic exhibition formats that engage with local contexts and emerging artistic communities.

Erratum History

Erratum Gallery was founded in 2012 in Berlin by three artists - James Verhille, Fiona Valentine Thomann, Damien Sayer. It was established as an artist-run, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting emerging artists and building their connections with more established artists.

Since 2012, the gallery has gained a reputation as an initiator of experiments in co-creation in original, multimedia, unique art installations.

2017—2020 Erratum was run by Dean Annunziata, Franck Rausch, Raphaël-Bachir Osman and Linda Franken. The new team continued to invest time and energy in non-commercial visual collaborations of young artists, artist-to-artist practitioners, organizing bonding evenings and joining discussions about the role of art in society.

In 2020, artist Katya Quel took over the leadership of the gallery, continuing its mission to support emerging artistic talent. Her curatorial strategy is rooted in fostering inclusivity and diversity, with a strong commitment to supporting female artists, underrepresented minorities, and voices often marginalized in the art world. The gallery actively prioritizes artists from underground cultures and non-privileged backgrounds, providing a platform for those outside mainstream institutional networks. Additionally, her approach encourages a critical examination of contemporary issues, with a focus on new perspectives on coexistence, sustainability, and reimagining the future. Through an engagement with technology, digital culture, and alternative modes of living, she seeks to create a dynamic space for artistic dialogue, innovation, and cultural reflection.

Installation view from ‘DEBRIS’ - a duo show of Giselle Gorostiaga and Hanna Rose-Stewart curated by Sigrid Hermmann.

“Once embraced by living buzzing bees, the flower is a speaker for the dead. A stick figure promises to remember the bee flower when it comes time. The practice of the arts of memory enfold all terran critters. That must be part of any possibility for resurgence.” - Donna Haraway ’Staying with the Trouble’

The exhibition by Giselle Gorostiaga and Hannah Rose Stewart creates their own artistic reality that analyzes the relationship between a subject and the outside world, highlighting the way in which emotional attachments between humans and nature could be developed in the future. The artworks represent some of the modern technocratic myths of civilization versus wildlife of microbiology, wilting flowers and endangered species as an aesthetic value and contradictory position of a person face or as part of nature.

Giselle explores our relationships with teran organisms in all their muddy, hyper-linked substances, looping threads and relays of patterning against the unlimited economic growth or human exceptionalism. She refers to Donna Haraway who intoduced her to Environmental Keyword - Sympoiesis or ‘making-with’ :

“Nothing makes itself; nothing is really autopoietic or self-organizing. In the words of the Inupiat computer “world game,” earthlings are never alone. That is the radical implication of sympoiesis. Sympoiesis is a word proper to complex, dynamic, responsive, situated, historical systems. It is a word for worlding-with, in company” Donna Haraway ’Staying with the Trouble’

Hannah Rose Stewart is manifesting within post-digital approach to classic painting. Her work takes form as a historically inspired fantasy, as liminal lost souls, drifting from a place of inheritance and interface. Dreams and research intertwine becoming semi effaced within the global network and take form, sometimes appearing as props from an un-made movie or game. She is concerned with imagining other worlds beyond the banality of capitalist realism, through simulation, speculative fiction and trend research.
