carry grew out of Galerie Kollaborativ, where we curated more than 25 exhibitions. The same trained eye and the same curatorial practice, in a new and accessible format. We take art out of the gallery, to the places where people come together anyway.
We are a small team with a curatorial practice that has grown over years in the exhibition world. We bring order to complex spaces and a clear point of view to every format, so a place gets a finished cultural experience without becoming a gallery.
