Gandy Gallery
A contemporary art gallery in the Old Town showing artists from Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans in focused, changing exhibitions.
Why visit
Gandy Gallery began in the Prague area in the early 1990s, soon after the fall of communism, and has been based in Bratislava since the mid-2000s. Its founder, French-born curator Nadine Gandy, works with what she calls the art of “New Europe”.
Each exhibition is built around one artistic or social question – identity, memory, the body, migration. It is the place to see regional contemporary art that rarely reaches the big museums.
What to see
Solo and group shows by artists the gallery works with over the long term, such as Ilona Németh, Oto Hudec, Jana Želibská and Zbyněk Baladrán, alongside international guests.
The space is compact, so a show can be seen in one unhurried round.
Plan your visit
The gallery opens on a few afternoons a week, with Saturday visits by appointment, and the programme changes several times a year – check what is on before you go.
Twenty to thirty minutes is enough. The rest of the Old Town is a few minutes’ walk away.
