The gallery deals mainly with the latest trends in European and American art, with a focus on photography. In 1993, with the opening of the new space on Via Gorani, the gallery became a Project Room where artists were asked to work in a more intimate setting. The first work presented in the new space was by American artist Robert Gober.
