Cruce de dinámicas: viajar, mirar, encontrarse... Imagen-vídeo/Imagen-computador transformadas en visualidad que deslocaliza los modos del saber y del ver de las prácticas artísticas; 1_arco07, es un recorrido donde el universo de lo sublime y el espectáculo [socialmente dicotomizado] se disuelve en el bricolaje del tiempo-flujo-imagen alumbrando nuevas figuras de socialidad. “Cuando nosotras...” percepciones de género; así define una galería, presente en la edición de arco de 2007, su filosofía: La Galería Barbara Gross fue fundada en 1988. Desde el principio, la galería se dedica a promocionar mujeres artistas de primera línea. Hoy día, la galería continúa siendo una importante plataforma para mujeres artistas en Europa.

From the beginning, the gallery has been devoted to presenting outstanding female artists who, in those days, were largely underrepresented in both the art market and museums. Today the gallery is an important platform for female artists in Europe. We have been instrumental in organizing many museum exhibitions and have made significant contributions to establishing art by women artists in the public consciousness. Louise Bourgeois, Nancy Spero, Ida Applebroog, Kiki Smith, Ana Mendieta, Jana Sterbak, and Eva Hesse are some of the artists Barbara Gross introduced for the first time to Germany, At the same time, the Barbara Gross Gallery is dedicated to presenting political, socially critical, and conceptual painting by artists such as Leon Golub or Rémy Zaugg.

Besides these classic positions, the gallery represents a new generation of female artists who have expanded these types of artistic concepts with contemporary techniques and content, such as Katharina Grosse (murals) and Charlotte Schleiffert (drawing and painting). Karin Sander, Eran Schaerf and Michaela Melián represent the conceptual and installative interest of the gallery.

Even in its early phase, the gallery specialized on photography and new media by including such artists as VALIE EXPORT or Boris Mikhailov. This part of the program has continually expanded to feature artists such as João Penalva (video), Beate Gütschow (computer generated photography), Tamara Grcic (video and photography) or Sabine Hornig and Katharina Gaenssler (photography and installation).

It is especially important to us that we not only show independent positions and varying styles, but that the gallery is committed to represent the artists over a long period of time.
