Piktogram Gallery

About

Founded in 2005 by Michał Woliński, Piktogram Gallery in Warsaw began as an art magazine before evolving into a dynamic project space and later a commercial gallery. Known for its bold curatorial approach, Piktogram showcases emerging and mid-career artists—often Polish or of Polish descent—who live and work internationally. The gallery has gained recognition for its participation in major art fairs like LISTE in Basel and for organizing the unconventional NOT FAIR art market. Located at Górskiego Street 4, Piktogram embraces experimental formats and venues, including hotel rooms and cinema theaters, reflecting its commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary art presentation. Its exhibitions explore themes ranging from body choreography to social activism, offering a platform for fresh artistic voices and engaging Warsaw’s cultural landscape with a distinctly international perspective.
