Tanya Leighton Gallery, Berlin, is dedicated to developing a cross-disciplinary, trans-generational gallery programme with off-site projects, in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, critics, art historians, and curators.

Its international exhibition programme reflects a variety of opinions and practices as well as Leighton’s associations with American and British experimental cinema, artist’s film and video, minimal and conceptual art. Solo exhibitions by established and emerging artists will intersperse with conceptually-motivated group exhibitions and projects. The gallery will engage in the re-examination of historical frameworks and practices, in order to bring marginalized figures, objects, events and contexts back into focus.

The gallery’s inaugural year will present and restage historical works by artists and filmmakers such as British pop artist Derek Boshier, acclaimed London filmmaker John Smith, and unsung hero of British cinema Peter Whitehead. Leighton will also produce and exhibit new and recent work by artists from North America, Britain, Czech-Republic, China, Colombia, Palestine, and Uruguay – including Ayreen Anastas, Pavel Büchler, Alejandro Cesarco, David Diao, Rene Gabri, Sharon Hayes, Dan Rees, Lucas Ospina, Xu Tan, Oscar Tuazon, amongst others. Forthcoming projects include themed group exhibitions by: Whitney Museum Biennial curator Henriette Huldisch; Gianni Jetzer, Director of the Swiss Institute, New York; Mike Sperlinger, Assistant Curator of LUX, London; and a project by Gareth James/Scorched Earth – a magazine that examines the historical and contemporary status of drawing.

A series of talks and events will highlight the aesthetic, social, and political significance of modern and contemporary art practice. A collaboratively curated bookshop will feature small press publications on art criticism, theory, fiction, and artists books. The aim of the bookshop is to provide a framework for understanding the intersecting fields of art, culture, economics, and politics, and to promote reading and discourse as integral to the production and exhibition of art.

A special artists edition series offers exclusive artists editions coinciding with the exhibitions and events. The first of the series includes editions by: Douglas Gordon, Sharon Hayes, Anthony McCall, and Martha Rosler. For more information please email editions@tanyaleighton.com.
