In commuting distance from Antwerp and Brussels and located near two prominent Belgian museums for contemporary art, the Stedelijk Museum for Contemporary Art (S.M.A.K.) and the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Tatjana Pieters/OneTwenty, Ghent seeks to introduce and support Belgian talent next to the promotion of international artists. The gallery currently consists of 3 individual spaces, Room 1, Room 2 and a Cabinet room, a total floor space of 250 m2.
First educated as a conservator/restorer of ancient and modern sculpture, art-historian and independent gallerist Tatjana Pieters has taken a profound interest in the extended vocabulary of contemporary sculpture and installation and the different notions towards sculptural language. Although the gallery’s programme also consists of painting, video, photography and drawing, the gallery generally feels challenged to promote and support young artists who relate strongly to sculptural and installational practice, as nowadays this is a field well explored thanks to the evolution of cross-disciplinarity.
Since its inception in October 2005, Tatjana Pieters/OneTwenty has built up an extensive list of gallery exhibitions with both solo and group shows, of national and international artists as well as curatorial projects. Considering the collaboration as a long-term relationship, the gallery endeavours to develop the institutional presence of all artists represented, as well as promotion to collectors worldwide by participating in international art fairs. The gallery has already participated frequently in Art Brussels, Art Rotterdam, Artissima and Art Forum Berlin.
In September 2008 Tatjana Pieters was appointed Visual Arts Commission Member of the Flemish Community. She has given several lectures on being a young gallerist, and was in the jury for the Flemish Culture Prize for Visual Arts 2008, which was rewarded to Joëlle Tuerlinckx. In December 2008 Pieters was invited to contribute with an article in the Belgian art magazine 'HART' as part of a feature devoted to upcoming professionals in the Belgian art scene.
