backslash

A backslash is a typographic symbol widely used in the IT system. For us, it represents the beginning of a story and its long-term continuity. Working with artists represents a strong, long-term commitment.

Established in 2010 in the Haut Marais district of Paris, the gallery offers an international and resolutely eclectic program. Its 250 m2 space reflects an essential commitment to artists, enabling the existence of demanding exhibitions, whether monographic or collective. Backslash also participates regularly in art fairs, organizes off-site exhibitions and publishes works devoted to the artists it represents through Backslash Editions. The gallery has always been committed to the fight against climate change. The transport required for participation in fairs is organized with partner galleries, and the packaging of works is always thought out in terms of re-use. The lighting of the space is drastically limited outside opening hours, while green transport is favoured by the team.
