Kulterra Gallery

Kulterra. A new art gallery. Through these few words we basically said everything. Nevertheless, in a city with a dynamic evading any concept, a city living by its own rhythm, prone to fabulous crashes and unconceivable expansions, punctual dissolutions and general reinventions, deep amnesias and surprisingly fresh renewals, the opening of a new art gallery is thusly both a normal and an exceptional event. It’s a rule and it’s an exception. It’s predictable and surprising. The usual yet so new... Contradiction and paradox is in the nature of Bucharest, which seem to live organically, fleeting the plans of architects and urbanists, defying the incapacity of budgets and adjusting its gaps through a communion of individual initiatives. Kulterra in this sense sets a good example. It is the newest private space for exhibitions from Bucharest, yet it developed on the place of an older cultural (and also private) space. It is literally “underground”, since the approx. 280 square meters surface of the gallery unfolds integrally two floors under the street. At the same time, it is also a “highlight” of the city through the quality and complexity of the logistics and infrastructure it proposes. Through the technology it uses in its interior set-up, Kulterra is a versatile, modular gallery, fit for organizing, generating and managing several simultaneous events. The exhibitions, conferences, projections, installations it will host will benefit from an exceptional infrastructure. A few minutes away from Cișmigiu, Kulterra detaches itself as an underground shelter where art and art consumer can meet in harmony. A shelter as capsule nesting the visitors away from the hustle of the street and helping them reconnect with themselves and art. A space where curators, art critics and art historians – the experimented and the emerging alike – will discover a subterranean limitless horizon.
