Katie Eva Gaj (*1992, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) is an art historian and curator based in Cologne with over seven years’ experience in the gallery and institutional sectors. She studied art history in Bonn and Rome and has since been involved in numerous exhibitions in the field of contemporary art. Drawing on these experiences, she has developed a distinctive curatorial style characterised by a spirit of experimentation, playful approaches and a particular sensitivity to spatial and social contexts. Since 2023, she has been realising independent exhibition projects in which she challenges established forms of presentation and explores new possibilities. In addition, she holds a teaching post at the Münster Academy of Fine Arts, through which she brings her curatorial experiences and questions into academic discourse. In doing so, she is constantly guided by the question of what contemporary art is, what it once was and what it might become in the future.
Central to her curatorial practice are a number of recurring themes and fundamental interests, including an ongoing engagement with specific places and landscapes, as well as with spaces that are transformed or revitalised through artistic interventions. Her work frequently aims to make transitions visible and thus to explore the permeable boundaries between these spheres. Furthermore, Gaj attaches particular importance to fostering networks between artists at both regional and international levels, with a view to intensifying dialogue and exchange across different artistic contexts.
