2007 Parrotta Contemporary Art gallery opened up its post-industrial exhibition rooms in Stuttgart, Germany.

In addition to that the gallery's programmatic emphasis lies on artistic positions, that follow a conceptual and media reflecting approach. This approach follows narrative, figurative and socio-political moments and integrates them in the concept. As a consequence the gallery is therefore not fixed on specific artistic media but shows painting, photography, video, works on paper, performance, audio works, installation and sculpture. The gallery has thus offered a panel for young ambitious artists as well as already established artists within its diversified, international exhibition agenda. In that panel the gallery's artists were put in discourse with other project artists within the frame of relevant group exhibitions or simultaneously shown solo exhibitions. In stuttgart the gallery possesses a building area of 400 sqm with three separate exhibition rooms, which facilitate two to three solo exhibitions at the same time.
