Gabriela Anco is an art curator, critic, and exhibition producer based in France. Through her curatorial projects and writings, she explores societal dynamics and social norms, fostering discussions on the human condition in the face of economic, political, climatic, and scientific shifts. She is particularly fascinated by the human paradox—this interplay between reason and instinct, comfort and awareness—culminating in a falsely optimistic determination to defy the unrivaled forces of nature.

Gabriela Anco has incorporated an eclectic range of artists and artworks into her projects, spanning from historical figures such as Joseph Beuys, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, and Man Ray, to contemporary talents including Cecile Bicler, Jagna Ciuchta, Naomi B. Cook, Amélie Labourdette, Adrien Lamm, Jeanne Susplugas, and Vadim Zacharov. In a conscious response to outdated patriarchal norms, Gabriela Anco leans heavily towards promoting women artists.

Since 2015, Gabriela Anco has collaborated with several institutions, events and spaces including Marrakech Biannual, Berlin Art Week, CIVA (Brussels), Parisian galleries Michel Journiac, Papillon, dix9, Mansart, Rinomina. In 2022, she curated her first solo museum show, “Asterisms” by Naomi B. Cook at the Museum Maison Auguste Comte. In Berlin, from 2016 to 2019 she co-founded fontaine b., an enterprise specializing in art curation and advisory. Between 2015 and 2017, she directed and managed projects for the Berlin-based artistic initiative Zona Dynamic, earning recognition that culminated in the prestigious Berlin Senate Award for independent project spaces.

She holds a Master’s degree in Cinema Theory and Aesthetics from Pantheon-Sorbonne University in Paris and is a member of the associations C-E-A and AICA. Currently, she is a frequent contributor to Zéro Deux magazine.
