About the initiative
Less noise.
More attention.
Offliners puts the artwork and the curatorial idea at the centre. It develops selected projects rather than operating as a public gallery or an open-access artist network.
The name continues a curatorial practice previously presented under GaleriaZero. The current focus is on independent projects, editorial work and professional curatorial services.
