Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler was founded in 2011 by Amadeo Kraupa-Tuskany and Nadine Zeidler. The gallery program is informed by an interest in art practices that operate outside linear notions of thinking and engages with more speculative, non-hierarchical, and hybrid approaches. It is characterized by an international alignment of artists from Eurasia, the Arabian Gulf region, China, the USA and Europe. The gallery represents three artist collectives. Out of the ten solo-artists in the program, six are female. Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler featured the first solo exhibitions by Katja Novitskova, Avery Singer, Florian Auer, Andrea Crespo, GCC and Guan Xiao (outside of China). All gallery artists are in major public museum collections and exhibit extensively in international institutions and biennales.
An ongoing intellectual exchange with the artists about relevant art historical, theoretical and political discourses form the basis for the gallery program and its activities. Besides exhibitions the gallery realizes publication projects and organizes screenings as well as panels with artists, writers and theorists. The impact of the artists on current debates about syncretism, digitalisation, image economies and post-human tendencies manifests itself in their prominent representation in defining exhibitions such as the 9th Berlin Biennale, the 2015 New Museum Triennial, Art Post-Internet at the UCCA, Beijing and Speculations on Anonymous Materials at the Fridericianum, Kassel.
In addition to the gallery’s strong focus on building sustainable relationships with international public and private collections, the gallery provides a professional infrastructure for the artists to support their careers in all relevant aspects, including logistics, maintenance of archives and the conception and management of large scale productions.
