Sultana

Founded in 2010 by Guillaume Sultana, Sultana collaborates with emerging international artists. Based in the Marais, neighborhood of Paris, the gallery space operates as a site for experimentation and expression, often bringing together well-established and emergent artists through a playful, yet politically-engaged curatorial program that highlights practices concerned with identity and its social ramifications. By giving space to curators and writers, in addition to artists, the gallery is committed to rethinking the traditional modes of exhibition-making and collaboration within the art world.

In 2021, Sultana opened Sultana Summer Set Arles to convene artists, collectors, curators, and friends in a domestic and intimate space in the heart of the city. This space was conceived as a residency and site of exchange, to host projects angled toward creative freedom, reflection, and flânerie that eschews a regular programming schedule, and is organized instead according to the whims and desires of our community. These two spaces exemplify the spirit of Sultana: the desire to provide artists with an independent platform for expression via site-specific projects and curatorial propositions.
