The Okey Dokey joint exhibition project of galleries and spaces is on in Cologne and Düsseldorf, opening September 8 and running to September 30.

Similar to the CONDO collaborative project (founded in London in 2016 by Vanessa Carlos of Carlos/Ishikawa and debuting in New York this year) which sees spaces host artists from an international counterpart, the citywide event presents collectively-curated group shows developed in cooperation with their guests.

This German iteration is organised by emerging spaces Jan Kaps, Ginerva Gambino and Max Mayer, with the aim of encouraging supportive relationships between local and international galleries, and includes Berlin’s Sandy Brown, Geneva’s Truth and Consequences, and London’s Arcadia Missa; Basel’s Weiss Falk, Los Angeles’ Park View, and Mexico City’s Lulu; Neue Alte Brücke, Galerie 1900-2000 and more.

See the Okey Dokey website for the full program.**
