A little store-front studio with limited exhibition space of 20 qm and with a large window facing the street was established 2007 April and is running by artist Elena Ilina (painting, installation, photography, video). The galery is too young to define a guidline and is not a home for single statements. It positions itself geographically and philosophically as a non-profit showcase, a minimal white-cube for the contemporary artwork slightly outside the center of the city and of the art-market. The energy of the programme is derived from the constant shifts in style, provenance and engagements of artists. It aims to function as a think tank to make contemporary art a daily experience for all. As an artists-run center irrespectiv of medium, but “loyal to painting” with a content-based approach to exhibitions without a need to follow the trends or to make big statements, it offers for young or mid-carreer artists who are under-represented but deeply commited to their practice to participate in general dialogue of the art discours.
