dot concept

A dot. A circle. A round. A concentric wave propagating itself unobstructed by white walls or frontiers.
dot gallery is ubiquitous and nomadic, the antithesis of the white cube, sedentary and limited.
Its center of emission is Geneva but it radiates beyond borders.


There is no limit to contemporary creation, so why restrict oneself to one space, to one country, to one public, to one type of work?


dot galerie cares to question and reposition itself according to the need of the artist.
Thus the gallery explores different locations for each exhibition, be it a park, a factory, a gallery, a private salon, a train station or the street, in order not to impose the limitations of a predefine space but to find new venues to present the work of the artist and to intervene in a maner closer to the public.

dot galerie is both a precise meeting point and a vast circle embracing and sharing contemporary art creation. The emphasis is placed on the process of curating exhibitions in tune with the artists' own work development, to enhance cultural exchange beyond national borders,
and in the process question the role of the gallery today.
