Young and established, experimental and traditional, new discoveries and masters of the photographic medium: For 4 years Galerie f5.6 has been building their programme successfully around these important pillars of photographic based art. On the one hand, the gallery represent old masters of photography, who set the path for the wide acceptance of photography as an independent art form. On the other, they represent contemporary artists, who are treading on new artistic ground, working in dialogue to the past and a wider contemporary art practice.
To create balance and a dialogue within the broad spectrum of photography is one of the tasks the gallery has set itself. To this end, they show a wide array of different areas of photography. However, it is the critical questioning of traditional, as well as contemporary categories of art and photography within this that is important.
From the centre it is possible to go in different directions and the name of the gallery, the middle f/stop 5.6, is also directed at the many possibilities within photography.
The gallery believes that it is important to present only works that have the highest print quality and conservational standards, as well as an intellectual quality, but without losing the emotional aspect of an image- the images should touch the viewer both intellectually and physically.
Next to an ongoing exhibition-cycle, they are also creating a stock of prints available for view. If you are looking for a specific image or are putting together a collection, they are more than happy to aid. As they are a young gallery, it is particularly important to them to consult first time buyers, as well as experienced collectors, and offer fair, affordable prices.
