SODA gallery is a Bratislava - based gallery dealing exclusively in critically acclaimed, important works of contemporary art produced by very young, emerging and high-caliber central and Eastern European artists. Since opening its doors in 2010, it has been home to innovative, singular and pioneering exhibitions across a variety of media and genres, tracing the latest trends in contemporary curating. Currently, SODA gallery represents 15 multi generation artists, and hosting 4-5 gallery based exhibitions a year. From 2014 has been successfully engaging in the art fairs world (Frieze Masters, Frieze London, Frieze New York, Art Basel Miami, Artissima, Miart Milano, Art Paris...etc.) systematically every year, presenting solo and group shows of Slovak artists. In addition to its gallery activities, SODA gallery is presently developing several projects - screenings through a project SODA screens, international exhibitions and public art debates. In an attempt to bring contemporary Slovak art to a foreign audience and to initiate international cooperation and exchange in the field of art, SODA organizes at least one exhibition annually in the premises of its foreign partners, which reciprocally dedicates its home space to the performance of foreign artists in Bratislava.
It creates a platform for confronting the local and international art scene and tries to initiate a greater interest of the general public in contemporary art and stimulate systematic and regular international cooperation. The purpose of the gallery was to initiate systematic international cooperation and exchange from the beginning, to support the export of Slovak artists abroad. Over the past few years has built one of the most respected position within the framework of international art structures and many are considered to be one of the few subjects of active and systematic presentation of Slovak art abroad. SODA gallery has been systematically fulfilling it's mission by publishing books and catalogues, attending art fairs and raising with represented artists as well as with international collectors and curators.
