The GIF Gallery, founded in 2023, shows contemporary digital art

As the name suggests, the gallery shows exclusively animated GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format). GIFs have been used by artists for over 30 years to express themselves and showcase their talent.

To attract the attention of people in the region, regional themes are used for the animations. Artists from all over the world are invited to create GIFs.

The 1st exhibition was dedicated to the theme and subject of Niesen, the striking mountain that has often been depicted in art.

The second exhibition dealt with the theme of silhouettes, which have a long tradition in Switzerland. The title of the show: SCHERENSCHNITT 3.0

The third exhibition was dedicated to the story of Heidi, the girl from the swiss mountains.

Followed by ZEITGEIST: ZEITGEIST encapsulates the cultural pulse of a specific era. It is the lens through which we perceive and interpret the world.

The fifth exhibition was dedicated to the artist Paul Klee. Paul Klee was born near Bern (Switzerland) in 1879 and is one of the most important visual artists of 20th century classical modernism. 25 artists have explored the person and work of Paul Klee.

GIF Gallery has been listed as a gallery on the objkt art platform since december 2024. Two exhibitions are being held to mark this event:

Smoke on the water commemorates the fire that broke out in Montreux in 1971. Frank Zappa performed and the concert in the casino had to be cancelled. The smoke could be seen from afar. This is how Deep Purple came up with the lyrics.

The latest exhibition ist dedicated to Albert Anker (1831 - 1910), one of the most popular painters in Switzerland.

Digital art is becoming increasingly well-known and popular. Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) have played their part. As the market is flooded with NFT platforms and digital works, curation and mediation are desirable and in demand.

The collector, creator and curator tiegenhof is the person behind the GIF Gallery. Through his collecting activities of digital art, especially in the GIF format, he has been able to establish contacts with artists from all over the world in recent years.

All presented GIFs can be purchased on the marketplace objkt.com.
