Fotograf Gallery was established under the name Fotograf Studio at the end of 2009 as the second platform for the Fotograf 07 Association. The Association enabled members to stimulate directly and continually activity in the field of artistic photography and reflect its context in media interventions in contemporary art. At the time of its establishment, it was imagined as a space that would be conceptually tied to the content of the magazine’s current issue. However, it quickly gained autonomy as a systematically run exhibition space lead by its own curator.
