Interview with Tasneem Salam: How to Work with a Gallery

Our second TAF TALK is with owner and director of Tasneem Gallery, Tasneem Salam. The Tasneem Gallery is based in Barcelona, Spain and Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2007, Tasneem will talk about her gallery's artistic programme and how she works with artists. The talk will be interesting to understand how artists could approach a gallery with a view to working together.

Tasneem Gallery is an international contemporary art gallery, located in the residential neighbourhood of Las Tres Torres in Barcelona. It began its operation as a gallery with the opening of its first exhibition in November 2007. The gallery has two main objectives. First to present and promote the work of international artists, both established and emerging. Second to provide information and advice to new and seasoned collectors.

Our platform is based on commitment and long-term relationship with our artists, to support and enable a solid and steady development of their career. Our program is based on an individualized strategy for each artist where we include: the organization of events and exhibitions, diffusion and promotion through different media of their projects within and outside the Gallery, participation in international art fairs and regular update on new proposals to all our contacts. For every show we produce a publication, which is distributed between museums, curators, art critics and collectors, as well as among our clients.

Tasneem Gallery is also one of the founding members of La Fuente Foundation, a not for profit organization registered in London. This foundation runs a project that combines art, education and development at an international level. It aims to stimulate young people and artists to discuss and share ideas about global issues and how they are encountered in day to day life at a local level.
