Established in 2013 in Berlin, Galerie Rolando Anselmi is a contemporary art gallery with a research focus based around site-specific presentations. Seeking to expand upon its function as a dealer gallery, the programme supports creativity and the development of special and outdoor projects.
Read MoreWhile being broadly international in its selection of artists, the programme does have a strong Italian and German influence within its roster, framing itself as a place of exchange between the contemporary art scenes of these countries.
In 2016, further enhancing its position as a bridge between German and Italian contemporary art, Anselmi opened a new project space in his home-town, Rome. The small project room follows an independent direction from that of the main gallery in Berlin, focusing on new opportunities in relation to the specific environment of Italy—its location and contemporary art scene. Taking advantage of Italy’s unique settings, the gallery has held two major site specific projects beyond the gallery walls: The Hawt Show (2016, Borgo Colle Melone, Atina), and Palko (2019, Castello di San Basilio’s Chapel, Pisticci).
In 2020 a new headquarters with fully integrated office, storage and exhibition spaces will be opened in Rome.
