Valerie von Meiss is the Zurich born and Berlin based mastermind behind The Curve, the renowned art space and nomadic gallery dedicated to the promotion of contemporary collage.

With a fresh approach and a fearless attitude, in 2017 Valerie turned her odd shaped apartment into a gallery to exhibit the work of few artist friends. This was the starting point of a project that grew organically championing contemporary collage and re-thinking traditional art world practices and the relationship between artists and galleries.

Today we’re speaking with Valerie to learn more about The Curve’s history, philosophy and curatorial approach. And we also asked her for some tips on how we can start collecting collage if we are passionate about this medium -and don’t have a huge budget.
