DANYSZ gallery I contemporary art I Paris - Shanghai - London

The gallery fiercely advocates for an inclusive vision of contemporary art, in which artists across a wide range of practices can coexist. Its long-time support to artists hailing from urban art and its commitment to strong artistic personalities in photography, sculpture, new media, open up a rich and far-reaching vista into contemporary creation. Next to the roster of international artists that the gallery represents, its commitment also notoriously goes to young and emerging artists.

Danysz believes that supporting an artist does not only consist in presenting his or her work within its own walls. This is why the gallery is keen on conducting ambitious side projects, whether it be sponsoring the production of artworks in the public space, or spearheading large-scale exhibitions and events in cooperation with international museums and foundations.

For Danysz, art is a journey of discovery. It is in this spirit that Magda Danysz decided to set up camp in Shanghai in 2009, with a new exhibition space in the stunning Bund area. Danysz was the first international gallery to open a location in the city. Since then the gallery has been actively engaged within the flourishing Chinese art scene, with yet another mission: to bolster and be a voice in the ever-inspiring dialogue between East and West.

In all these endeavors, Danysz has been for 30 years a nexus of eye-opening contemporary creation. A place for art practices and ideas to constantly be discovered or rediscovered. For the years coming ahead, the plan is to continue to be just that: a catalyst for passion and imagination.
