HISTORY
Founded in Doha, Qatar in 2012, East Wing established a successful physical gallery space in Dubai (2014 – 2018) and showcased works at international art fairs. In 2018 the gallery moved out of its physical space in order to experiment with new online presentation models.
East Wing combines online exhibitions through Artsy with social media portals and occasionally presents physical gallery pop-up presentations in various locations. The gallery also provides significant support in developing meaningful collections for those passionate about innovative photography and video.
