Your career at BBA
There are two key strands of DNA that form BBA. The Gallery and the Prizes. When working with BBA, you will be heavily involved in both strands and the underpinning goal of discovering and nurturing artists.
Founded in 2017, BBA Gallery is Berlin’s breakthrough artist-led contemporary art gallery. BBA Gallery is recognised for its innovative and unique approach to the contemporary art dealership market. Prioritising quality and talent, BBA Gallery challenges the status quo of the art world. Through the diverse artistic positions it represents, BBA Gallery bridges the gap between traditional and technological forms of artistic expression and sets its sights on the future of art. The gallery champions the visibility of artists on an international scale. Orientated by an ethos of inclusivity, the gallery places the artist and their work at the forefront of all its activities. Directors Renata Kudlacek and Vishal Shah are practising artists themselves, and as such, they and BBA are uniquely positioned at the intersection of the art market and individual creativity.
BBA Prizes are international open calls for artists and photographers. With two major group exhibitions a year, and a fundamental goal to empower emerging and mid-career creatives, the Prizes are another artery through which BBA champions the new talents it discovers. We believe that the artists who we discover via BBA Prizes are the names of tomorrow and will make a significant mark in the world of art. Many shortlisted and award winners have gone on to hold solo exhibitions and group shows at BBA Gallery. This unique process of driving visibility for emerging artists is part of the DNA of BBA.
