Mihai Nicodim opened his first gallery in 2006 with a focus on emerging and overlooked American, African, Asian, and European artists. The artists of the gallery share a common interest in reassessing art history from an outsider's perspective and challenging its established framework.
Nicodim was the first to show Adrian Ghenie, Ciprian Muresan, Simphiwe Ndzube and Moffat Takadiwa in solo exhibitions stateside, placing their works in important collections, and helping their careers gain global prominence.
The gallery places strong emphasis on aggressive curated group shows that interrogate the cultural, sociopolitical, and spiritual undercurrents that shape society, mixing established, radical, and esoteric artists together to explore new narratives and spotlight talent.
