Solene Guillier is co-founder of gb agency in Paris, which opened in 2001. "At the time of creation of gb agency, some researches led us to discover and meet some artists based in Eastern Europe, such as Roman Ondak, Jiri Kovanda, and Deimantas Narkevicius, later followed by Julius Koller and Tamas St. Auby," says Solene Guillier. "In 2004, gb agency curated the show 'From My Window, Artists and Their Territories' at ENSBA, School of Art of Paris, to present a selected panorama of diverse practices by artists from Eastern Europe. A publication also helped to spread out the knowledge about these artists and their universes".
