Location
After being first years located on Gregorčičeva ulica 3, next to the Equrna Gallery, the Gallery moved to the apartment in the first floor of Cankarjeva cesta 7, what is the street connecting Prešern square with Tromostovje and Tivoli park beginning with the Modern gallery.
Attitude
The Gallery stimulates the development of new ways of expression in classical and new media. The artists represented by the Gallery are radical, but not in the form of ruminating about the changes that had happened in the turbulent past of Eastern European countries. Their research in various media is turned towards the visual, sonic and tactile, the exploration in the state of artistic media today and their insertion in the realm of the public imbued with capitalist consumerism.
Artists
Two generations of artists are represented by Ganes Pratt Gallery. The first one is tightly connected with Venice Academy of Art, where almost all of them have been studying and were presented on the very fist exhibition of the Gallery, opened on the 25th of April 2006 under the title Bad girls & Bad boys: Jaša, Meta Grgurevič, Jasmina Cibic, Ištvan Išt Huzjan, Simone Settimo, Giorgio Andreotta Calo and two artists promote study of art in Ljubljana, namely Viktor Bernik and Urša Vidic. In 2007 and later other artists were invited to work with Ganes Pratt Gallery: Arjan Pregl, Žiga Kariž, Mark Požlep, Nina Slejko and Dejan Kaludjerović.
"I do not represent fifty artists, what the economical logic would dictate to be more successful in the satisfying of taste of the bright public. Long term cooperation with chosen artists and common development of relations within the small group means much more to me,” said director Primož Nemec in the interview for Mladina in 2007.
