CHAUSSEE 36 Photography

Founded in 2015, CHAUSSEE 36 PHOTOGRAPHY is a gallery-led project space dedicated to photographic art. We investigate certain themes such as historical and experimental photography, as well as the role of the female as subject or maker in photography. Our interest and investment lies within the socio-political impact of these photographic disciplines, as well as their influence on an art historical discourse. We examine the photographic medium in all of its facets through regular exhibitions, publications and the administration of the Collection De Gambs and the Heinz Hajek-Halke Collection. Our exhibitions are, however, not limited to the photographers within these collections but rather the overarching disciplines and surrounding research questions as they relate to contemporary photography. Questions such as: What is experimental photography now? What is the role of the female body in photography now? What constitutes a historical image in photography now? CHAUSSEE 36 PHOTOGRAPHY collaborates with international museums, private and state collections, galleries, and organisations to realise the exhibitions and events taking place in-house as well as external shows and projects.
