About Mauer
An independent gallery built by artists, around artists, images and the people who gather around them.
A gallery can be rigorous, generous and alive at the same time.
Attention around the work matters.
Mauer Gallery was created by Ben & Julia as a place where artists can show ambitious work with real attention around it. Curation, installation, communication, opening nights, collector contact and the human side of putting on a show are treated as one collaboration.
The programme stays selective and personal. The work has to hold the room.
Trust, instinct and strong visual language.
Some exhibitions begin with artists reaching out. Others begin with long relationships, invitations or years of following a practice. The common point is direct belief in the work.
Painting, drawing, sculpture, urban culture and original animation art can sit beside one another because the gallery is not organised around one medium. It is organised around visual conviction.
Artists, neighbours, collectors and curious people in the same room.
Mauer wants people to feel comfortable walking into a gallery while keeping the programme visually demanding. First-time buyers matter as much as experienced collectors. Every exhibition is another reason to meet around images and ideas.
