Projectesd Gallery in Barcelona

Editorial Profile

Founded in 2003 by Silvia Dauder, ProjecteSD is a Barcelona gallery whose identity has been shaped by a deliberately restrained, research-oriented position rather than by a generational or market category. Based in Eixample, it has developed a program that places established artists and younger authors in dialogue, often across different historical moments, formats, and conceptual contexts. Within contemporary art in Barcelona, the gallery occupies a precise role: less spectacular than some larger spaces, but influential for its sustained attention to minimal, conceptual, photographic, textual, and process-based practices. Its roster and exhibition history include artists such as Iñaki Bonillas, Patricia Dauder, Dora García, Jochen Lempert, Matt Mullican, Peter Piller, Allen Ruppersberg, and Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, reflecting an interest in artists for whom image, language, archive, and perception are often central questions.

The gallery’s program extends beyond conventional exhibition-making through conversations, book presentations, publications, and a permanent section devoted to artists’ books, reinforcing its editorial and discursive profile. This emphasis gives ProjecteSD a distinct position among galleries in Barcelona, where it contributes to a scene that moves between local production, independent gallery culture, and international circulation. Its participation in fairs such as Art Basel, Paris+ and ARCO Madrid, together with its membership in ArtBarcelona, confirms a presence beyond the city while remaining closely tied to Barcelona’s gallery ecosystem. Rather than presenting itself as a broad commercial platform, ProjecteSD is best understood as a gallery built around continuity, intellectual clarity, and a careful negotiation between Spanish and international contemporary art.
