ABOUT

ABOUT

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY is a hybrid commercial art project that merges physical and digital experiences. Founded by Annka Kultys in 2015/2022, the East London-based gallery has rapidly become a leading art space for artists (particularly millennials), who engage with technology (and more recently decentralised technology) in both traditional and digital media. Through a robust program of exhibitions that showcase these artists alongside a commitment to promoting the hybrid “phygital” approach, Kultys aims to shape the discourse on contemporary art and technology while pushing the boundaries of what is achievable within both physical and digital gallery spaces.

Our partenaires featuring our shows: Galleries Now, Artforum Art Guide, New Exhibitions, SeeSaw Map, Art Rabbit and E-Flux (coming soon)

VITA

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY is a phygital art gallery (blend of physical and digital experiences), located in East London and founded in 2015 by Annka Kultys. In the short time since its opening, the gallery has emerged as a leading platform for a future generation of artists. With its ground-breaking representation of Ai-Da Robot since June 2020, ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY has become the first gallery in the world to represent a humanoid robot artist.

In April 2020 (during the lockdown), ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY launched [The art happens here], an online platform dedicated to showcasing digital art in its ‘natural habitat’. In May 2022, the gallery expanded it to ANNKA KULTYS PHYGITAL, one-of-a-kind virtual reality gallery for exhibiting, contextualising, and collecting digital art — with its inaugural exhibition ‘Web 3.0 Aesthetics: In the Future Post-Hype of the NFTs’ presenting over 20 digital and crypto native artists whose works are sold through NFTs. ANNKA KULTYS PHYGITAL provides a natural extension to the gallery’s offline programme, championing the millennial artists, and both analogue and digital art engaged with technology (and more recently with decentralised technologies).


Offline, the gallery exhibition programme (with a strong focus on LGBTQ+ artists) consists of six solo shows a year featuring mainly paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, augmented by occasional live performances. ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY also hosts two annual group exhibitions: one in January — called CACOTOPIA, the gallery’s annual survey of leading emerging artists within the contemporary art space (enabling them to debut their works within the commercial sphere in London); and one in July, in collaboration with a guest curator (aimed at highlighting new perspectives within the contemporary art world). This year the guest curator was the German writer and curator, Anika Meier.
