Profile
Ganes Pratt 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 sense of ruminating about the changes that have happened in the turbulent past of Eastern European countries. Their research in various media is turned towards the visual, the aural, and the tactile, the exploration into the state of artistic media today and their insertion into the public sphere imbued with capitalist consumerism.
Artists
Two generations of artists are represented by Ganes Pratt Gallery. The first one is tightly connected with the Venice Academy of Art, where almost all of them have been studying and were presented on the very first exhibition of the gallery, opened on 25 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, which the economic logic would dictate to be more successful in satisfying the taste of the bright public. Long-term co-operation with selected artists and the common development of relations within a small group means much more to me,” director Primož Nemec told Mladina magazine in a 2007 interview.
Location
Located initially on Gregorčičeva ulica 3, next to the Equrna Gallery, Ganes Pratt Gallery eventually relocated to an apartment in the first floor of Cankarjeva cesta 7, on the street which connects the Three Bridges and Prešern Square with Tivoli Park beginning at Museum of Modern Art (Moderna galerija).
