Anca Poterașu Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in 2011, Bucharest, aiming to support contemporary Romanian artists. The gallery shows both well established and young artists, active in various media – painting, drawing, art-objects, installation, photography and video-art. The exhibition programme is centered on curatorial practices that encourages collaborations with art practitioners from across the country and from all over the world. In 2015, the gallery initiated an international exhibition residency programme – Plantelor 58 – for artists and curators from around the world, establishing a sustainable platform for cooperation. Anca Poterasu Gallery aims to further develop the international visibility of its artists through cooperation with other xgalleries and institutions. Based on the previous success of the curatorial project space programme, run between 2018-2019 in the Spinnerei, Leipzig, the gallery continues to develop the concept of the “nomad gallery”, intending to open different project spaces around Europe.
