The A+A Gallery in Venice is a non-profit exhibition space established in 1997, as a centre for the promotion of contemporary Slovene and international art. Run by Obalne galerije - Coastal Galleries and financed by the Slovene Ministry of Culture is also the site of the Slovene pavilion for each Venice Biennale.


History

The gallery first opened its doors in 1992 in Madrid, inside a space (divided by a corridor, hence the name A+A) restored by architect Boris Podrecca. After five years of activities co-ordinated by Lidija Šircelj, the gallery moved to Venice, close to Palazzo Grassi.

Exhibitions

In addition to hosting temporary exhibitions of mostly Slovene artists, the A+A Gallery function as the Slovene Pavilion within each Venice Art Biennale. As part of its exhibition programme the Gallery establishing a network of contacts between civic and foreign institutions with the aim of organising round tables, performances and video projections, thus offering a panoramic view of today's artistic expression and becoming a point of meeting and exchange, fundamental for knowledge of the present.
