Gaep

Gaep is a Bucharest-based contemporary art gallery with a programme featuring the work of established and emerging artists. Founded in 2014 by Andrei Breahnă (cultural manager) and Raluca Șoaita (architect), the gallery was initially named Eastwards Prospectus and focused on artistic practices from Eastern Europe. In 2019, it changed its name into Gaep. The current programme includes 15 artistic practices that reflect various sociopolitical contexts and different generational positions, in an attempt to transcend established borders and circulate artworks and ideas in new ways. Over the past 12 years, Gaep presented 53 exhibitions and participated in 32 international art fairs. Awards and nominations include: Radio România Cultural Award 2020 for Marilena Preda Sânc’s exhibition ‘Subjective (De)Constructions’, Opening Prize at ARCOmadrid 2019 with a solo presentation of Ištvan Išt Huzjan, and Special Mention Sardi per l’Arte Back to the Future at Artissima 2017 with a solo presentation of Marilena Preda Sânc.
