A good service extends the average stay of visitors. Partnership The Munich Kunstfruhling (engl.: art spring ) will be kicked-off in 2018 with the goal to connect more art events at the same date of STROKE. Our first partner will be the already established ARTMUC - a contemporary art fair in Munich. The partnership will bring more press reviews and attract even more art lovers and collectors to visit STROKE. Online Catalogue We will not produce a printed catalogue anymore. Instead all galleries and their artworks will be presented in our new (responsive) website catalogue. Visitors will then have the chance to find all informations for a whole year online.
Marco Schwalbe (1976) Owner and CEO STROKE Director of INTOXICATED DEMONS Gallery This is what i treat myself to STROKE 2018 With my gallery INTOXICATED DEMONS i always wanted to find a place where the strong vitality and the unique spirit of the emerging contemporary art movement is combined with all art market aspects that professionals need. I couldn t find it - therefore i had to invent it by myself. (Marco Schwalbe)

THE STROKE VENUE NEW AND OFF After 4 years of having STROKE in a beautiful and beloved historic site, we felt that it s time to move on. We wanted to explore new urban spaces and also pay homage to the places of where it all began. The new STROKE site is an extraordinary place that is situated just a couple of minutes away from the heart of Munich. It s combining both the beauty of urban decay and the spirit of a vibrant place that almost got forgotten in a gentrified surrounding.
THE STROKE VENUE IN MUNICH The former construction hall for motor-scooters has seen various owners and usages. For more than a decade a famous Munich flea market had it s base in the early 20th century architecture. Since 2012 it was unused due to several public restrictions. This year STROKE has the exclusive option to re-animate the urban decay charms.
