Galeria Posibila

What Galeria Posibila does

Galeria Posibila (legal entity SC Magimex Import Export SRL) is an independently operated contemporary art gallery founded in March 2003 and headquartered in a house with a garden on Strada Popa Petre 6 in Bucharest's old town, Romania. The gallery represents a stable roster of more than ten Romanian artists — including Ștefan Câlția and Nicu Ilfoveanu (both with the gallery since 2003), Dan Perjovschi, Bogdan Gîrbovan, Florin Ghenade, Denise Lobonț, Miruna Radovici, and Ghenadie Popescu — and curates a continuous exhibition program in its physical venue (open Wednesday–Saturday 16:00–20:00), while also reaching collectors via the posibila.ro online shop, RAD Art Fair participation, and traveling exhibitions such as 'Rezidual' at Galerie Stadtpark in Krems, Austria.

The gallery monetizes through four primary streams: one-time sales of original artworks, limited editions and prints (priced 98 lei to 5,500 lei), sale of artist publications and books, and exhibition-related ticket sales (e.g., the upcoming 'Transilvania | Extravaganza' at the Ursuline Monastery in Sibiu). It runs recurring institutional products — the MASTER program for emerging artists, the multi-annual 'Intertwined Relationships. Contaminated Exchange' research program co-financed by AFCN, the Sounds Like a Book residency with Grapho_mat, and FOI Magazine on graphic and book design — that position it as one of the first and leading Romanian institutions focused on artists' books and art publications.

The operating model is structurally that of a small cultural enterprise: there is no proprietary technology, no disclosed headcount, no venture funding, and revenue is not publicly reported. Programming and capital expenditure are supported by a diversified set of corporate and institutional sponsors — Globalworth Foundation, CEC Bank, Regina Maria Health Network, LG Electronics Romania, the Italian Cultural Institute, the Austrian Cultural Forum, and Romanian public funders (AFCN) — alongside partnerships with museums (Brukenthal) and festivals (FITS) for major projects. E-commerce is supported by PayU payments and Fan Courier shipping, and the gallery distributes via its own website, Instagram (@galeria_posibila), and Facebook.

Broad incumbents

• Hauser & Wirth: Global blue-chip contemporary art gallery with locations in Zurich, London, New York, Hong Kong, and other major cities. Represents the broader-incumbent end of the contemporary-art-gallery category; relevant as the upper bound for what an institutionally recognized contemporary gallery can scale into.
• Pace Gallery: Global blue-chip gallery with locations across North America, Europe, and Asia, with significant publishing operations. Serves as a strategic upper-bound reference for the artist-representation-plus-publication business model at global scale.
• David Zwirner: Global blue-chip gallery representing major contemporary artists with major publishing and exhibition programs. Provides an upper-bound reference point on how an artist-representation-plus-publication model can scale globally, though operating at a vastly larger scale than Galeria Posibilă.
• Galerie Eigen+Art: Established German contemporary art gallery with locations in Berlin and Leipzig, representing internationally recognized artists across multiple generations. Larger scale and broader geographic reach than Galeria Posibilă, but overlapping contemporary-art focus, Eastern-European artist engagement, and publication emphasis make it a relevant incumbent reference point.

Direct peers

• Galerie Rolando Anselmi: Contemporary art gallery with spaces in Berlin and Rome, representing international artists with a strong curatorial-research orientation. Comparable in exhibition-driven, research-led programming and in building cross-border artist rosters rather than operating as a high-volume commercial gallery.
• Nicodim Gallery: Leading Bucharest-based contemporary art gallery representing Romanian and international artists with locations in Bucharest and Los Angeles. Direct competitor in the same city targeting overlapping collector base and contemporary Romanian artists, with a similarly diversified exhibition-plus-publication model.
• Ivan Gallery: Bucharest-based contemporary art gallery founded in 2008, representing mid-career and emerging Romanian artists. Closely comparable in city, scale, business model (artist representation plus exhibitions) and target audience, making it a head-to-head competitor for both artists and collectors.
• Harta Gallery: Contemporary art gallery based in Budapest and Marosvásárhely representing emerging and mid-career artists from the Central/Eastern European region. Comparable regional positioning, scale, and artist representation model, targeting a neighboring CEE collector pool.
• Galerie Stadtpark Krems: Austrian contemporary art gallery in Krems that recently co-presented Ghenadie Popescu's 'Rezidual' exhibition with Galeria Posibilă. Comparable scale, contemporary art focus, and active exhibition-plus-collaboration model; serves as both a co-production partner and a comparable European regional peer.
• Galeria Plan B: Contemporary art gallery founded in Cluj-Napoca with a Berlin project space, representing Romanian and international artists with an active publication and exhibition program. Comparable in its Romanian-base + European reach, artist representation model, and curatorial-research orientation.
