Agenzia04 started its activity on June 2004 in a re-styled warehouse located in the most significant contemporary art area in Bologna, the “Manifattura delle Arti”, with the goal of organizing an international network with artists and galleries from all over the world.
The first exhibitions focused on young research from Europe, United States, Japan. Agenzia04 profiled itsel as an international project space with the ambition of creating exchanges by exhibiting the work of emerging and not yet known artists. This aim at providing the artists the opportunity to find other exhibition spaces, giving lectures, getting press reviews, and at the same time it gives to public the chance of knowing the artists’ work in depth.
On December 2007 Agenzia04 becomes a contemporary art gallery starting participation at fairs and a renewed exhibition program.
