Paci Contemporary was founded in 2004, with the aim of creating a new space for the evolution of the contemporary artistic research, both conceptually and in a renewed aesthetic sensibility. The works exhibited during the past years show the preference towards photography as the main field of investigation within visual arts. From the black and white theatrical poetry of the masters of analogue photography, exalted by Jerry Uelsmann’s surreality, or by the exposure of a local reality done by Phil Borges, passing by the sublime mysticism of Mario Cravo Neto, to the social criticism of Les Krims or Arthur Tress, up to the meaningful colours in the photographs created by Clark&Pougnaud or Maggie Taylor, which opens the viewer’s inner and fantastic imagination. Paci Contemporary also works to develop artistic projects involving the spectator in unusual sensorial realities, such as the Staged Photography created by Sandy Skoglund, with her magical installations, or with the glass-gellages of Michal Macku, which started the journey of photography towards tridimensionality, ending with Teun Hocks’s cinematographic style, which is bridging the gap between painting and photography. Paci Contemporary has also paid attention to the new medias, with the creations made by modern technologies, to the complex structure of video-installations. Paci Contemporary develops a continuous cooperation with museums and other galleries to promote the artists collaborating with the gallery itself, for example the Mjellby Konstmuseum in Halmstad, the Fotografiska museum in Stockholm, the La Pedrera in Barcelona and so on. The cooperation with critics, both Italians and foreigners, creating series of publications, books and monographs centered on the represented artists, thus favoring a deeper look on their work. Paci Contemporary is also present in many international contemporary art fairs.
