Zipper Galeria

Located in the Jardins neighborhood in São Paulo, at Estados Unidos Street 1494, Zipper Galeria is more than an art gallery; it's a dynamic space that continuously reinvents itself to accommodate the multiplicity of discourses in contemporary art. Since its inauguration in 2010, the gallery has been a reference for emerging artists and an inclusive platform for established names.

The welcoming architecture of Zipper Galeria, which moves away from the traditional white cube with inspirations from brutalism, is designed by Marcelo Rosenbaum. The space embraces the intersection between art and technology, bringing together various forms of artistic expression, from painting and sculpture to photography, video, drawing, and installation.

Zipper Galeria began its journey with a focus on emerging talents in the art scene, being recognized as a gallery that breathes the "young language of São Paulo". Over the years, however, the gallery expanded its representations, incorporating artists from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as witnessing the maturation of the productions of artists it has followed since the beginning.

The word that best defines Zipper Galeria is "plurality". The gallery has become a convergence point for the diversity of styles in the Brazilian art scene. This openness to plurality is evidenced in projects like Zip'Up, launched in 2011, which occupies the second floor of the gallery, and the "Salão dos Artistas Sem Galeria" (Hall of Artists Without a Gallery), held annually since 2012, both dedicated to boosting artists not yet included in São Paulo's commercial circuit.

Moreover, Zipper Galeria marks its presence in the urban scene with the "Poesia de Fachada" (Facade Poetry) project, which transforms the facade of the gallery into a canvas for visual poems.

The vision and passion for art of Fabio Cimino gave birth to Zipper Galeria, and since 2012, his son, Lucas Cimino, together with partner Osmar Santos, from 2017, has led the gallery, bringing a combination of experience and innovation to consolidate Zipper Galeria's commitment to contemporary art.

In constant evolution, Zipper Galeria continues to occupy an essential space in the Brazilian cultural panorama, driving initiatives guided by artistic and technological creativity.
