Since its establishment in Slovenia in 2003, the Gregor Podnar Gallery has been one of the most internationally vivid Slovene commercial galleries. A frequent attendee of international art fairs like Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Frieze Art Fair London, Fiac Paris, etc., the gallery has brought not only Slovene artists to greater international recognition, but endorsed various artists from the greater Central and Eastern European region as well. Director Gregor Podnar opened a Berlin branch in 2007, under the Slovenian name, Galerija Gregor Podnar.



Background

Gregor Podnar led the Škuc Gallery in Ljubljana between 1997 and 2003 where he also established the gallery's commercial activity and its presence on the international art market.

Initially the Galerija Gregor Podnar opened in Kranj as part of the DUM Association of Artists and in March 2004 the new gallery premises opened in the town's former industrial area with the inaugural exhibition Venture, featuring work by the selected artists of the gallery. In August 2005 Podnar rented a new exhibition space from the Municipality of Ljubljana and moved the gallery to Ljubljana.

In September 2007 Podnar joined a cluster of commercial international galleries in Galerienhaus Lindenstrasse 34-35 on the frontier between Berlin Mitte and Berlin Kreuzberg, featuring the work of Attila Csörgő. The new venue was officially opened in November 2007 with the group exhibition Like to like I. and continued with Like to like II. Podnar curated both shows and presented all of the artists represented by his gallery.

Afterwards Podnar continued with solo exhibitions of the most recent production of his artists, where his curatorial strategy stays recognisable and significant. Galerija Gregor Podnar in Berlin has now turned into the base of Gregor Podnar's activities. Since then, the space in Ljubljana predominantly functions as a project room mostly for presentations of individual artistic positions.

Represented artists

The gallery presents internationally well-known and established artists mostly from Eastern European centres, as well as young emerging artists from a wider context. These include Attila Csörgő, Vadim Fishkin, Alexander Gutke, Irwin, Magnus Larsson, Yuri Leiderman, Dan Perjovschi, Goran Petercol, Tobias Putrih, Nika Špan and Goran Trbuljak. Since 2008 he presents also Ariel Schlesinger, a young Israel artist who lives and works in Berlin, and since 2009 he represents another young Polish artist, Marzena Nowak, as well.

Podnar works also with the following artists: Primož Bizjak, Tomaž Gregorič, Miha Knific, Bogoslav Kalaš, Antal Lakner, Kazimir Malevič, Andrei Monastyrsky, Tadej Pogačar, Christine Rebet, Guia Rigvava, Giovanni Morbin, and Mladen Stropnik.

Art fairs

Since 2003 the gallery is frequently present on the most prominent international art fairs. Starting with Art Forum Berlin and Artissima Turin, Gregor Podnar attended Liste, The Young Art Fair in Basel, ViennaFair, and Arte Fiera in Bologna. In 2006 Podnar participated on Art 37 Basel and since then his gallery entered the upper level of international art fairs such as Frieze Art Fair London, Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach, where in 2007 and 2008 the gallery was part of the section Art Nova.

He also presented the work of his artists at Art Brussels and in Paris on Fiac Art Fair. In 2008 and some years after, he was one of the protagonists at the abc, art berlin contemporary, an art fair prepared by leading Berlin gallerists.

gurgur editions

Since 2005 Galerija Gregor Podnar has been publishing monographies, books about specific projects, and special editions by individual artists (Nika Špan, Vadim Fishkin, Tobias Putrih, Primož Bizjak and Attila Csörgő).
