Gazelli Art House was founded in 2003 in Baku, Azerbaijan where it held exhibitions with Azeri artists. Having hosted conceptually interlinked off-site exhibitions across London, founder and director Mila Askarova opened a permanent space on Dover Street, London in March 2012. In 2017, the redesigned gallery space reopened in Baku, with an ambitious annual programme showcasing both local and international artists. Representing artists Aziz+Cucher, Derek Boshier, Stanley Casselman, Francesco Jodice, Recycle Group, Kalliopi Lemos, Khaleb Brooks, Niyaz Najafov and Perle Fine amongst others, the gallery has built a diverse programme of artists working across sculpture, photography, painting, video, performance and virtual reality. As part of the gallery’s on-going commitment to art education, the gallery publishes catalogues and artist books, alongside its programme of Tuesday Talks (one per show) to address ideas within the exhibitions and encourage a deeper dialogue around them. Gazell.io was conceived by Gazelli Art House in 2015 to mark the gallery’s commitment to building a market for VR works as a medium. Gazell.io started as a programme of monthly online residencies for artists working in the digital and virtual reality realm and continues to expand to incorporate partnerships and initiatives. In 2020, to celebrate the fifth year anniversary of the successful VR group exhibition series ‘Enter Through the Headset’, the Gazell.io VR Library was launched. An evolving selection of curated digital artworks including previous Gazell.io residents is now permanently on view to the public through the installation of two VR headsets in the Gazell.io Project Space on Dover Street. The Gazell.io Project Space was created in 2020 to provide digital artists with a platform to showcase their works physically at a commercial gallery.
